soumya-debug / LIbrary_Management_System

It is a software i.e designed to manage all the functions of a library. It helps librarian to maintain the database of new books and the books that are borrowed by members along with their due dates. This system completely automates all your library's activities.

📚 Library Management System -Java

A Library Management System made using the concepts of Object Oriented Analysis and Design. Minimal Code is written in the GUI and the entities are decoupled as well. The interface is console based. This project was designed during the course "Object Oriented Analysis and Design CS309".

Actors:

The actors include the following:

• Librarian
• Checkout Clerk
• Borrower
• Administrator

Use Cases:

After determining the actors, the second step in use case analysis is to determine the tasks that each actor will need to do with the system. Each task is called a use case because it represents one particular way the system will be used.

In other words, only those use cases are listed that actors will need to do when they are using the system to solve the customer’s problem.

Borrower:

• ❏ Search for items by title.
• ❏ ... by author.
• ❏ ... by subject.
• ❏ Place a book on hold if it is issued to somebody else.
• ❏ Check the borrower’s personal information and list of books currently borrowed.

Checkout Clerk:

• ❏ All the Borrower use cases, plus
• ❏ Check out an item for a borrower.
• ❏ Check in an item that has been returned.
• ❏ Renew an item.
• ❏ Record that a fine has been paid.
• ❏ Add a new borrower.
• ❏ Update a borrower’s personal information (address, telephone number etc.).

Librarian:

• ❏ All of the Borrower and Checkout Clerk use cases, plus
• ❏ Add a new item to the collection.
• ❏ Delete an item from the collection.
• ❏ Change the information the system has recorded about an item.

Administrator:

• ❏ Add Clerk.

• Java SE Development Kit 8 (JDK 8)
• After installing JDK 8, install NetBeans IDE

2- Open NetBeans IDE. Click on File -> Open Project and browse to the downloaded folder named "Project" and select it. It will load the NetBeans project.

3- Now everything is setup except the XAAMP MySql database for NetBeans. So, follow these steps to setup the database:

Step 1: First download the XAAMP server extension from XAAMP then open the live apache server and click 'start' on MySql data server on port 3306.

Step 2: After that create a database named library_ms that will show up on phpmyadmin tab. To get phpmyadmin tab click on phpmyadmin.

Step 3: Provide the following database crendentials in the next popup and click Next.

Host: localhost
Port: 3306
Database: library_ms
User Name: 
Password: 

Step 4: Now just click Next for the rest of the windows. After all this the database connection is made. Make sure that you connect with the database before running the project by right clicking on the connection and selecting connect. Now you are ready to run the project!

Step 5: Now to create the user table, issue_book table, student table etc, we have to write some sql querries in the database.

• ❏ create database library_ms;
• ❏ create table users(id int PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT NOT null, name varchar(50), password varchar(50), email varchar(100), contact varchar(20));
• ❏ create table books_details(book_id int PRIMARY key not null, book_name varchar(100), author_name varchar(200), quantity int);
• ❏ create table student_details(student_id int PRIMARY KEY NOT null, student_name varchar(30), course_name varchar(50), branch varchar(50));
• ❏ create table issue_book_details(id int PRIMARY KEY NOT null AUTO_INCREMENT, book_id int, book_name varchar(150), student_id int, student_name varchar(50), issue_date date, due_date date, status varchar(20));
• ❏ select book_name, count(*) as count from issue_book_details group by book_id;
