Library Management System Development Using Java Swing on Eclipse Platform

Abstract

Library is a fast growing sector. The existing system for maintaining library transactions is not very efficient. For quick retrieval and storage of data is required. An appropriately computerized library will help its users with quick and prompt services. Library automation refers to mechanization of library housekeeping operations largely by computerization. Library Management System (LMS) is an automated system that can be useful to Librarians and the users of a library in any functional organization. Library Management System gives the facility to define the tasks of the librarians and also allows its users to manage their activities to and from the library. A report generation facility is supported in LMS that allow its users to keep an account of their transactions in the library. This tool can help librarians to effectively save time and carry out other important works of the library rather than just looking out after the issuing and returning. This project aims at creation of a Library Log. This project will be accessible to all users of the library and its facility allows librarians to maintain a hassle free database while letting its users to themselves manage their own transactions individually thereby solving all major issues of having a huge database in the form of hard material.
