| Summary: | The Internet's rapid growth has motivated many companies to develop or use the
web-based application to gain competitive advantage against rising competitors. The
web-based application was designed as an information space, with the goal that it
should be useful not only for human but also those machines would be able to
participate and help. One of the major obstacles to this has been the fact that most
information on the web is designed for human consumption, and even if it was
derived from a database with well defined meanings for its columns, that the
structure of the data is not evident to a robot browsing the web. At beginning library
was just a store house of books and other document. General people were not
allowed to use those documents. After long time library started document delivery
service andcirculation came into picture. Theobjective and scope of this study is to
present the benefits, challenges and evolutions of having web-based E-Library
system. To narrow down the scope further, this study or research will be focusing on
the online reservation and due dates notifications. This project will focus on the
functionalities of the E-Library system which are reservation or booking books in
advance and notification on due date and overdue return. The users may be able to
reserve the unavailable book on-line through the system. Besides that, the users may
check their loan and reservation current status. Moreover, users will also be
provided with automatic duedate alertand overdue reminders. The system interface
will be created using various tools such as HTML, Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop
and PHP, These tools are selected on the basis that the users mayaccess the system
from anywhere at anytime, through the use of a web browser. Using the Hybrid
Methodology, which is a combination of Spiral Model and Prototyping Model, UTP
E-Library System aims to propose a feasible, yet and efficient library system mat is
web-based. |
