Library Monitoring System

CHAPTER I

Introduction

Library System is used in library to make their records organized and safe through done by database. It is easy to use by its friendly user interface and easy for saving records and books. It is very useful software for librarian and it requires a computer for the operation.

Statement of the problem

The researchers found that the school library doesn’t have an application system that can be used by the librarian and it using only paper works, so they must create an application to use by the school librarian to avoid redundancy and to make easy when they are searching books.

Theoretical Framework

An integrated library system (ILS), also known as a library management system (LMS) or as library automation, is an enterprise resource planning system for a library, used to track items owned, orders made, bills paid, and patrons who have borrowed.

An ILS usually comprises a relational database, software to interact with that database, and two graphical user interfaces (one for patrons, one for staff). Most ILSes separate software functions into discrete programs called modules, each of them integrated with a unified interface.

Larger libraries use an ILS to order and acquire, receive and invoice, catalog, circulate, track and shelve materials. Smaller libraries, such as those in private homes or non-profit organizations (like churches or synagogues, for instance), often forgo the expense and maintenance required to run an ILS, and instead use a library computer system.

1970s-1980s: the early integrated library system

The 1970s can be characterized by improvements in computer storage as well as in telecommunications. As a result of these advances, ‘turnkey systems on microcomputers, known more commonly as integrated library systems (ILS) finally...
