ProjectScope

LMS product is basically updating the manual library system into an internet-based application so
that the users can know the details of their accounts, availability of books and remaining time for
borrowing.
The project is specifically designed for the use of librarians and library users. The product will
work as a complete user interface for library management process and library usage from
ordinary users. LMS can be used by any existing or new library to manage its books and book
borrowing, insertion and monitoring.
LMS can work as a powerful library management system for big libraries and can provide a free
easy-to-use system for rising libraries.
