Project on C-programming
Library management System

1.

Introduction of the project

We have studied C language, now we come to the real life problems and see how we can solve
them. Here we will use C Program to develop one real life project with a simple project life cycle
using Turbo C.

1.2.

Invitation:
The proposal of the project has been prepared and is being submitted in response to our respective
course of Purbanchal University soliciting proposal from College Of Information Technology
Engineering

2.

Purpose of project:
The main objective of this document is to illustrate the requirement of the project Library
Management System. The documents give the detail information of both functional and non functional
requirements of library. This program is developed after consulting with the library in charge of CITE.

2.2.

Scope of Project:

2.3.

To make the Library system more efficient and effective..

To provide a user friendly environment where user can be serviced better.
Make functioning of library faster.
Provide a system where the library staff can catch defaulters and not let them escape.
To minimize the loss of books.
Features:

There are two different classes to whom this product will be used upon. This programs features
can be briefed upon these classes as:
Librarian who will be acting as the administrator
Student of the CITE will be accessing the Library system.
The features that are available to the Librarian are:
o A librarian can issue a book to the student
o Can view the different categories of books available in the Library
o Can take the book returned from students
o Add books and their information of the book
o Edit the information of the existing books. o
Can check the report of the issued Books.
o Can access all the accounts of the students.

The features available to the Students are:

Can view The different categories of books available in the Library
Can view the List of books available in each category
Can own an account in the library
Can view the books issued to him
Can put a request for a new book
Can view the history of books issued to him previously

o Can search for a particular book

Theory
C program is a general purpose, structured programming language. Its instruction
consists of terms that resemble algebraic expression, augmented by certain English keyboards
such as if, else, for, do ad while. In this respect C program resembles other high level
structured programming language such as Pascal and FORTRAN 77- C program allows
certain features that allow it to be used at a lower level, thus bridging gap between machine
language and the more conventional high level language. This language allows C program to
be used for system programming (e.g. for writing Operating system like UNIX OS) as well as
application programming. This language has large number of operators. The C is
programming. Developed by AT&Ts, Ben Laboratories USA in 1972 A.D. It was developed
by Dennis Ritchie.
C-program compilers are commonly available for computers of all its interpreters are
becoming increasingly common. The compliers are usually compact and they generate object
program that are small and highly efficient when compared with programs compiled from
other high level language. Another important characteristic of C-program is that its program is
highly portable.
Features of C Programming Language
4. C is known as one man language. Since it was developed by one person (lisp and PASCAL).
5. C is General purpose, structure programming language.
6. C comes between High Level and Low Level Language. So it can be called as Middle Level
Language.
7. It is machine Independent Language & is portable.
8. It consists of large no of syntax and statement.
9. It is used for program making as well as operating system (UNIX).
10. Birth of C is C i.e. Compiler of C is written in c language.

Conclusion
After we have completed the project we are sure the problems in the existing system would
overcome the LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM process 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 no. 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 computerization of the Library Management will not only improves the efficiency but will
also reduce human stress thereby indirectly improving human recourses.
