INTRODUCTION
The library management system is an application which refers to the library’s systems that are
small or large in their overall size. The system is used by the librarian and the students at larger
for the access of resources which are in the library. The librarian who acts as the admin of the
system is able to manage transactions which are taking place in the system which includes,
resource issuing, resource returning, resource entry and the registration of the new library users
like the students and the staff (Anon, n.d.). The library system which is being designed is the
Kent Institute library system whose number of users is low and this is the main reason as to why
the use of networked system was reached. In the report, the design has made the distinction
between the user and the admin of the system where the admin of the system has all the rights
and privileges of access any part of the system including the accounts of the users under
permission (Zhang et al., 2010).
PROJECT AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim and the objectives of the design which will be achieved after the design and the
development of the library system is discussed as follows.
i. Platform which allows easy issuing of library resources.
ii. The request areas by the users of the system to the librarian on the books which are
missing yet they are very important.
iii. Students and staff login module where students can be able to get access to resources,
borrow the resources and also return them.
iv. Capability of the users to be able to search for the resources in the easiest manner
possible with all available options.
LIBRARY SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
Project Variables
Variable are temporary memories which holds data before processing has been done. For the
development of the library management system, variables are required in order to hold data
during transaction from the client side and the server side. In order to decide on the variables, its
very important to design the modules which will be there in the system. Each module has got its

own variables which will make it easy for the system to be developed (Yang, Chen and Chen,
2017).
The following are the modules which the application will have;

Project Keys
A key is unique attribute in the table of records which uniquely identifies a record found in the
