Online Library Reservation System
Title:
E-Library: Online library reservation system.
Abstract:
I’m going to develop an online electronic library system that could be used by universities, schools, or public libraries, to control the process of: reserving, lending, and returning of books.
Any user who subscribes to the library can reserve books online, and check the status and history of his transactions.
Introduction:
Literature Review:
As I searched through the Internet to find what had been done regarding this subject, I was surprised that there are very rare or no complete commercial solutions that cover this subject (reserving, lending, and returning of books).
I can categorize what I found into the following main categories:
1. Commercial desktop applications: Used to control books inventory by: adding titles, classification, and searching. (can’t be used over internet, only use by single user)
2. Non commercial Web applications used only for specific organizations such as: universities, public libraries and schools. (they are private)
3. Commercial web applications: These are very rare, I found only one. (like our project)
