Software Requirements Specification

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

Today most of the libraries use the manual approach for all the basic operations such as

adding new member, new books, and updating new information, searching books and

members and facility to borrow and return books. Due to manual approach the whole process

become very lengthy and time consuming, also many other difficulties are also faced. The

main objective of our project is to reduce all these problems to make our work simpler and

easier.

The current state of library maintenance is very slow, clumsy, and tiring. The manual work

was also very time-consuming, Due to these reasons; software was required which can

improve our performance as well as our speed work. Also the software already available was

not much efficient as our software. The database capacity was not as good as was required.

Hence, new software was required which can fulfill all these requirements.

The “ONLINE LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” project is made computerized to

reduce human errors and to increase the efficiency. The main focus of this project is to lessen

human efforts. The Books and Students are given a particular unique id number. So that

they can be accessed correctly and without errors. Our main aim of the project is to get the

correct information about a particular student and books available in the library.

The problems, which existed in the earlier system, have been removed to a large extent. And

it is expected that this project will go a long way in satisfying users’ requirements. The

computerization of the Library Management system has not only improves the efficiency but

will also reduce human stress thereby indirectly improving human recourses.



1.2 Scope

The Online Library System that is to be developed provides the members of the Library and

employees of the library with books information, online reservation of books and many other

facilities.

The Online Library System is supposed to have the following features:

The product provides the members with online blocking of books capabilities and

the Online Library System is up and running all day.

The system provides logon facility to the users.

The system provides the members with the option to check their account and/or

change their options like password of the account whenever needed all through the

day during the library hours.

The system allows the members to block the books 36 hours a day and then the

Reservation would be cancelled.

The system lets the library staff to check which all members have blocked the

books and whether they can borrow any more books or not.

The System allows the Administrator to Manage the User Logins and their

Registration.

The system allows the Librarian to create the books catalog, add/delete books and

maintain the books catalog.

The system updates the fine system as and when the member borrows or returns a

book.

The book catalog is automated and the decision of offering the book based on the

category of the book is automatically decided.

Books would be issued for only 1 month.

The System can be used in any Educational institute or Offices with some

modification.

1.5 Technologies to be used

Java

the fundamental forces that necessitated the invention of Java are portability

and security, other factors also played an important role in molding the final form of

the language. The key considerations were:

■ Simple

■ Secure

■ Portable

■ Object-oriented

■ Robust

■ Multithreaded

■ Architecture-neutral

■ Interpreted

■ High performance

■ Distributed

■ Dynamic

The Internet helped catapult Java to the forefront of programming, and Java, in turn

has had a profound effect on the Internet. The reason for this is quite simple: Java

expands the universe of objects that can move about freely in cyberspace. In a

network, two very broad categories of objects are transmitted between the server and

your personal computer: passive information and dynamic, active programs.



DB2:

DB2 is considered by many to have been the first database product to use SQL (also

developed by IBM). DB2 can be administered from either the command-line or a

GUI. The command-line interface requires more knowledge of the product but can be

more easily scripted and automated. The GUI is a multi-platform Java client that

contains a variety of wizards suitable for novice users. DB2 supports both SQL

and XQuery. DB2 has native implementation of XML data storage, where XML data

is stored as XML (not as relational data or CLOB data) for faster access using

XQuery.

IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS)

It is a software application server, is the flagship product within IBM's

WebSphere brand. WAS is built using open standards such as Java EE, XML,

and Web Services. It is supported on the following platforms: Windows, AIX, Linux,

Solaris, i/OS and z/OS. Beginning with Version 6.1 and now into Version 7, the open

standard specifications are aligned and common across all the platforms. Platform

exploitation, to the extent it takes place, is done below the open standard specification

line.

Servlet

Servlet is a Java class in Java EE that conforms to the Java Servlet API, a protocol

by which a Java class may respond to HTTP requests.They are not tied to a specific

client-server protocol, but are most often used with this protocol. The word "Servlet"

is often used in the meaning of "HTTP Servlet".[1] Thus, a software developer may

use a servlet to add dynamic content to a Web server using the Java platform. The

generated content is commonly HTML, but may be other data such as XML. Servlets

are theJava counterpart to non-Java dynamic Web content technologies such

as CGI andASP.NET. Servlets can maintain state in sessionvariables across many

server transactions by using HTTP cookies, or URL rewriting.



Rational Software Architect 7.0

Rational Software Architect is a designer toolkit which is designed for develop more

complex projects by providing fully dynamic web service.

1.6 Overview :

Project is related to library management which provides reading services to its members. Any

person can become a member of the library by filling a prescribed form.They can get the

book issued, so that they can take home and return them and also ebooks are provided to the

users to enhance the scope of Library.

OVERALL DESCRIPTION

2.1 Product Perspective

The proposed Library Management System which is being developed by IT_Warriors team

is an on-line LibraryManagement System. This System will provide a search functionality to

facilitate the search of resources. This search will be based on various categories viz. book

name or the ISBN. Also Advanced Search feature is provided in order to search various

categories simultaneously. Further the library staff personnel can add/update/remove the

resources and the resource users from the system. The System will also have an ADMIN who

has full-fledged rights with regards to managing resources across branches – such as

transferring books across these branches. The users can know the number of available books,

2.6 Constraints

1. User authorization and authentication is a compulsion. Foreign users can not access

the data.

2. All Systems should be platform compatible with J2EE,DB-2 and SQL.

3. Minimum Softwares and Hardwares requirements must be fulfilled.

2.7 Architecture Design

Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) is a systems approach to the

analysis and design of information systems. The three most important techniques:

o Logical Data Modeling

This is the process of identifying, modeling and documenting the data requirements of

the system being designed. The data are separated into entities (things about which a

business needs to record information) and relationships (the associations between the

entities).

o Data Flow Modeling

This is the process of identifying, modeling and documenting how data moves around

an information system. Data Flow Modeling examines processes (activities that

transform data from one form to another), data stores (the holding areas for data),

external entities (what sends data into a system or receives data from a system), and

data flows (routes by which data can flow).

o Entity Behavior Modeling

This is the process of identifying, modeling and documenting the events that affect

each entity and the sequence in which these events occur.



Three different views of the system Mature Separation of logical and physical aspects

of the system, Well-defined techniques and documentation

o User involvement.

The size of SSADM is a big hindrance to using it in all circumstances. There is a large

investment in cost and time in training people to use the technique.

Activity Diagram

Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and

actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling

Language, activity diagrams can be used to describe the business and operational step-by-step

workflows of components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of control.

2.9 Class Diagrams

Class diagram describes the static structure of the various classes of the system and their

association but the classes declared with the system, which does not declare how the class,

behaves when they act economically.

A class diagram is a graph of classifier elements connected by their various static

relationships. A “class” diagram may also contain interfaces, packages, relationships

and even instances, such as objects and links. Perhaps a better name would be “static

structural diagram” but “class diagram” is shorter and well established. A class

diagram is a graphic view of the static structural model. The individual class diagrams

do not represents divisions in the underlying model. A class diagram is a collection of

static model elements, such as classes, interfaces and their relationships, connected as

a graph to each other and to their contents. Class diagrams may be organized into

packages either with their underlying models or separate packages that build upon the

underlying model packages.

It shows the interaction between classes arranged in the time sequence or message

exchanges that take place between classes for specific purpose. A sequence diagram

presents an interaction which is a set of messages between Classifier Roles with in

Collaboration, or an Interaction Instance Set which is a set of stimuli between

Instances with in a Collaboration Instance Set to effect a desired operation or result.

A sequence diagram has two dimensions: the vertical represents time, and the

horizontal dimension represents different instances. Normally time proceeds down the

page. The dimensions may be reversed, if desired. Usually only time sequences are

important, but in real time applications the time axis could be actual metric.



2.10 Database Design

2.10.1 Data Flow Diagram

As information moves through software it is modified by a series of transformations.

A data flow diagram is a graphical representation that depicts information flow and

the transforms that are applied as data move from input to output. The basic of a data

flow diagram also known as a data flow graph or bubble chart.

2.10.2 E-R Diagram

An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is a specialized graphic that illustrates the

interrelationships between entities in a database. ER diagrams often use symbols to represent

three different types of information. Boxes are commonly used to represent entities.

Diamonds are normally used to represent relationships and ovals are used to represent

attributes.
