Online Library Management System

1. Introduction
Borrowing books, returning books or viewing the available books at the library of the local Library & other libraries is currently done manually where in the User has to go to the library and check the available books at the library. Users check the list of books available and borrow the books if the book is a borrow book otherwise it is of waste for the User to come to the library to come to check for the books if the User doesnt get the book. Then the librarian checks the User id and allows the member to check out the book and the librarian then updates the member database and also the books database. This takes at least one to two hours if the member is available at the nearby place otherwise it may take more time. We have decided to investigate the use of an online library management system. This system would be used by members who may be Users or professors of that Library to check the availability of the books and borrow the books, and by the librarian to update the databases. The purpose of this document is to analyze and elaborate on the high-level needs and features of the online library system. It focuses on the capabilities and facilities provided by a library. The details of what all are the needs of the online library system and if it fulfils these needs are detailed in the use-case and supplementary specifications. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document is to describe the external Behaviour of the Online Library System. Requirements Specification defines and describes the Operations, interfaces, performance, and quality assurance requirements of the Online Library System. The document also describes the non functional requirements such as the user interfaces. It also Describes the design constraints that are to be considered when the system is to be designed, and other Factors necessary to provide a complete and comprehensive description of the requirements for the Software. The Software Requirements Specification (SRS) captures the complete software Requirements for the system, or a portion of the system. Requirements described in this document are Derived from the Vision Document prepared for the Online Library System. 1.2 Scope The Software Requirements Specification captures all the requirements in a single document. The Online Library System that is to be developed provides the members of the Library and employees of The library with books information,

online blocking of books and many other facilities. The Online Library System is supposed to have the following features. The product provides the members with online blocking of books capabilities and the Online Library System is up and running all day. The system provides logon facility to the users. The system provides the members with the option to check their account and/or change their Options like password of the account whenever needed all through the day during the library Hours. The system allows the members to block the books 24 hours a day and all the through the Semester. The system lets the library staff to check which all members have blocked the books and Whether they can borrow any more books or not. The system allows the Librarian to create the books catalog, add/delete books and maintain The books catalog. The system updates the billing system as and when the member borrows or returns a book. The book catalog is automated and the decision of offering the book based on the category of The book is automatically decided. We also have an order department, which manages to add or remove a book from the Library. The features that are described in this document are used in the future phases of the software Development cycle. The features described here meet the needs of all the users. The success criteria of The system are based in the level up to which the features described in this document are implemented In the system. 1.3 Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations

2.2 Product Functions The Online Library System provides online real time information about the books available in the Library and the user information. The Product functions are more or less the same as described in the product perspective. The functions of the system include the system providing different type of services based on the type of users [User/Librarian/Staff]. The member should be provided with the updated information about the books catalog. Provisions for the members to borrow the books they want, if all the other required rules hold good. The member is given a provision to check his account information and change the account information any time in the given valid period. The members are provided with the books available roster and allowed to choose the books, which they want to use in the coming up days. The librarian can get the information about the members who have borrowed or returned the books. The librarian is provided with interfaces to add/delete the books available in the book catalog. The members when complete the book borrowing or returning process, the due to be paid by the member must be calculated and the information about the member and the due amount is sent to the Library billing system. The system uses the Library information security requirements to provide the login facility to the users. 2.3 User Characteristics The users of the system are members, librarian of the Library and the administrators who maintain the system. The members and the librarian are assumed to have basic knowledge of the computers and Internet browsing. The administrators of the system to have more knowledge of the internals of the system and is able to rectify the small problems that may arise due to disk crashes, power failures and other catastrophes to maintain the system. The proper user interface, users manual, online help and the guide to install and maintain the system must be sufficient to educate the users on how to use the system without any problems. 2.4 General Constraints The information of all the users must be stored in a database that is accessible by the Online Library System.
Software Requirements Specification Page 5
