INTRODUCTION
The LMS is a technological advancement in terms of a an application which constitute several
subsystems within itself. The application is a resource I various institutions of leaning and the
custodian of the same is the librarian, the clients who use the resources in terms of the books and
literature are the students and other academicians. There are several aspects that are inclusive in
the LMS (Library Management System) all of them which are managed by the librarian. Right
from management of the users who are main clients both new and old, how if for example they
are books are distributed to the users and also how they can be returned in case the given period
has expired, (Basch, Guibas and Hershberger, 2016). In the modern age of many needs and
development especially in terms of resources, there has arisen a great need to have automated
systems where the resources can be managed and the users must have very defined roles and
responsibilities. In the proposed Kent Institute Library Management system , both the
administrator and the student privileges are clearly mapped out so that there is reduction of
queuing and accountability is arrived at, (Demaine, Iacono and Langerman, 2018).
PROJECT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The following are some of the objectives that are aimed to be arrived at in the long run .
i. To provide an environment where library resources can be shared more dynamically.
ii. The ability for the client to communicate with the admin of the what resources which could be
lacking in the library management system.
iii. The clients and the employees features that allow them to log into system , and request for
resources.
iv. The feature that will allow the users to search for the resources available by all the various
categories.
LIBRARY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Project Variables
In any system development, space is a very important element that is needed to store data before
the transactions take place. Programming defines this space as a variable. They act as the
intermediary storage locations especially of the system are using a database , front end and back
end administration components (Roura, 2015). Each system consists of the major building

blocks which are called the modules which defines the major functionalities of the entire system .
Each of this need variables which will be used as memories. For the KLMS (Kent Library
Management System), the following will be the variables
