System to Develop Library Infrastructure

Project proposal

Abstract

The proposed report tends to provide the complex knowledge about the proposed system which offer an exciting infrastructure to the libraries and will change its behaviour from existing ones for example books usually contain ISBN, author name, book number, category, price and also sheds upon the risk involve into the project and their proper mitigation techniques. The proposal clearly indicates the risks involved in this project and the possible risks with the help of risk management factors. The risks are being critically discussed to provide an overview of the possible and the intensity of those risks involved in the project. Visualization methods such as the data flow diagram and the context diagram will be used in the proposal to find a clear view of the organization’s background. In addition, this statement tends to provide knowledge about the services that will be provided to a library user with the help of a wireless network. The problem that people cause today, like the days before when there is less technology, is queuing to pay or borrow a book from the library. The solution that this project focuses on is to create an infrastructure that allows people to bring the books from the library they want to obtain without any face-to-face interaction with people to pay or enter the details in the registry to register and track records.( The Android Studio is used to create the application for mobile responsive and other things. For backup we use the MySQL that is best for creating the database for our application. The MySQL is a Structured Query Language which is easily to use and build the database very effective for the application.)

Data flow

Overview

The idea of proposed system we got from amazon go online store which serve in the field of shopping without facing people on the checkout counter and eliminate the step of being in a long line. Amazon go established their stores in 2019 in Chicago, New York and 15 more cities of USA. As amazon go store reduce the steps of checkout and payment steps for shopping by the customers our proposed system makes the library work easy and give friendly environment to the library client. The system support to the cashless society where cash is replaced by digital currencies. Moving on, the system that we are going to build is with the idea of ​​obtaining books from libraries without going through the person at the desk. The idea is based on an application that will help people to register in the library and obtain books and other materials without any other human interaction. People must download the proposed application first on their mobile (which is linked to library’s database which contains customer number) to manage their account for getting books from the library. People simply go to the library to see what they want and put that material in their bags and leave, but the only thing they need is to register with the library with the proposed application by their mobile phones. This application would be used to scan the book’s ISBN number in the library. Holding the mobile screen and with the help of mobile phone’s camera one has to scan the book’s bar code/ ISBN number. The books or other material that someone removes from the shelf will be automatically added to the virtual chat when the book’s ISBN is scanned by the user with their mobile phone. When someone is done with books, he / she wants from the library, he / she must go without facing any desk person or someone else. There are no lines, there is no payment steps. Soon after, the person who takes things from the library will receive a notification that his/her’ s receipt is ready with ISBN numbers of books and books count which are taken by one of the customer of library with due issued and due date for that particular book and customers would be responsible for penalty for they the books they borrow or under guarantee. The charge would be deducted from the responsible person’s account when the due date of return the books will be expired. For implementing this thing, we will work on the proposed project which have some phases like First, the login process would be performed by the person who wishes to take the services of the library. Registration must  be done first for the people who will use the services first time after this application is implemented in the library, but people who are already customers of library like who have Library card can use the services by using that identity number which provided by library to him/her previously. Basic information must be obtained at the registration stage, such as first name, last name, contact number, email address, password, etc. The next phase is to manage the bank details like card number, CVV, and card’s expiry date of the person who wishes to obtain library services. After successfully registering with the library application on the user’s mobile, user will able to get the books or other material from the library. The proposed application would contain information related to the contact, followed by sending an email to customer service for any questions or technical assistance. The feedback command will also be there, apart from the proposed system through which a user can give their feedback. At the time of returning the bought books the responsible person simply drops the books on the drop box and will also return those books to the person on the desk, when book again scanned by the librarian to palace on it right place, the conformation of returning will be generated and updated the user’s account as well.

Scope

      The customer satisfaction will increase of getting books easily without be in line or go through the details they provide at the desk counter of library.

      Once they log in to this application, will able to get things easier in the library.

      Work in the library will be reduced and became easy to track the record of every book in a digital way.

      Proper high-level security management will be provided by the proposed system to prevent the user’s sensitive data from miss user or any misshapen.
