DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONLINE LIBRARY CATALOG SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
A Library Catalog System software package is designed especially to handle book-keeping tasks and students entry and exits period. The aim of this study is to design software that will Design and implement an Online Library Catalog System. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to Control the inflow and outflow of stock/materials in the library, store books using IDs assigned to each book, assist in the management and record library stocks and give account of borrowed and un borrowed books.
The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is as a result of poor determination books due and overdue, lack of comprehensive database for book stocked in the library and verifiable borrowed material from the borrowers (student and staff).
The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application.
The proposed system will be help minimize the time of search to find the information of the particular text, create convenience to the library attendance/librarian and would also help the government and school management to save more funds. This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. The expected result is an Online Library Catalog System that will improve the academic and computerized knowledge base of both users of the library and librarians and reduce the verbal words between the library users and the attendance.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
A library is a collection of resources and services, and the structure in which it is housed; it is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, or a private individual. A system or computer system can be said to be an electronic device or machine, which accept data, process programs and then produce a result output from the processed as information. Similarly, library is also defined as a place in which books, manuscript, recordings, films, or reference materials are kept for private or public uses. Typically, a library must be able to handle some housekeeping information such as acquisition, inter library loan, cataloging, circulation, serial management, statistical report and references. A Library Catalog System software package is designed especially to handle such housekeeping tasks. A rapidly growing of information technology adds some features to library management or stock control system software packages such as features to handle digital-media, e-book, e-journals, online public access catalog (OPAC), a feature to connect and exchange information with a digital library system, an ability to connect with networks of co-libraries, machine-readable cataloging (MARC) standard support. Automated library is a digitalized method of storing library resources and it is also a system for cataloging and retrieval of information in electronic books, journals and other media.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
