Library Management System @ Praxis Business School,Kolkata
The Process Describing How The Application Was Built
I have built this application using www.creator.zoho.com . First, I have created a new application on this website. Then I have created new form on that as per the specification given below-
- Book: Title, Author, Publisher, ISBN number
- Copy of Book: ISBN, Library Catalog Number, Whether in circulation or not
- Library Member: Roll Number, Name, email-ID, mobile number
- Issue: Roll Number, Catalog Number, Date of Issue, Scheduled Date of Return, Actual Date of Return
In each and every form I have added the different heads like title, author etc in case of “Book” and also for others respectively. Now, after preparing the various forms under the heading Book, Copy of Book, Library Number and Issue, I have imputed the details of the book in the “Book” form after accessing the application. Then I have imputed the “Library Member” form with the details of the members.
Now comes the main work of making the application functional according to the needs which is mentioned below-
- Define a New book into the system
- Purchase of a new copy of a book / Remove a book from the library
- Registration of Members / Removal of members
- Issue of a Book / Return of a book : during the loan process, Catalog number and Roll number needs to be validated
- Reports of all books that have been loaned out
For that I have to edit each application and then I have to go to the script function, validate that and then applied various constraints like “if”, “fetch”, “else”, “alert”, so that the above mentioned functions could be smoothly operated. I have connected different forms to make the process operational and at the same time the database is updated accordingly. So, now it is publicly available for any faculty member to visit and check.
