end of semester. The system must have option for new members to
enroll for membership by paying deposit. A provision for getting six or
seven books per semester. Membership can be renewed by using the
register number. The deposit must be refunded on termination of

availability of a particular book.
 INTRODUCTION

Book Bank is the interface between the students and Librarian. It aims at improving

the efficiency in the Issue of books or magazines and reduce the complexities involved in it to

the maximum possible extent. The book bank is a set up that lends books for all its members
which they can return at the end of each semester. It has a huge collection of books and has to
keep track of all its members details such as requests, dues and penalties and the books.

1.1 PURPOSE

If the entire process of 'Issue of Books or Magazines' is done in a manual manner then

it would take several months for the books or magazines to reach the applicant. Considering

the fact that the number of students for Book Bank is increasing every year, an Automated

System becomes essential to meet the demand. So this system uses several programming and

database techniques to elucidate the work involved in this process. The system has been

carefully verified and validated in order to satisfy it.

The purpose of this document is to present a detailed description of the Book Bank System. It
will explain the purpose and features of the system, the interfaces of the system, what the
system will do, the constraints under which it must operate and how the system will react to
external stimuli.

1.2 SCOPE

The System provides an online interface to the user where they can fill in their

Personal details and submit the necessary documents (may be by scanning). The authority

concerned with the issue of books can use this system to reduce his workload and process the

application in a speedy manner. The book bank holds an online interface with its members for
maintaining all kinds of transaction details. Each member is provided with a unique user id at
the time of registering as a member.
