Preface

Digital age has resulted in a devaluing of time, space, and place.Print-based libraries developed in an age of scarce printedresources. Books were rare, expensive, time-consuming to createand copy, and difficult to transport.

Digital content and electronic networks, however, have changed thebasic environmental conditions in which documents are created,distributed, and used. Now it is much faster and cheaper to bringthe document to the user, rather than ask the user to come to thedocument or collection. Collections of books and other documents,either printed or electronic, also are a form of congregation.

E-Library is a nonprofit, grassroots project that aims to elevateliteracy in the world by utilizing a medium that is becoming part ofeveryday life for more and more people.

Our goal is to construct a worldwide digital library of public-domain, focuses in particular on groups access the content inextremely flexible, usable, interactive ways. When people use e-library, we want them to feel that they are part of an onlinecommunity, not just individuals in cyber space accessing a digitizedtext. Though there may have some limitation, as it is our learningbased development; but it’s an effective approach to illustrate thekey features of “ASP.NET” and “C#”, which we have been learnedthrough our training.

INTRODUCTION

Project Design:

In order to design a web site, the relational database must be designed first.

Conceptual design can be divided into two parts: The data model and the processmodel. The data model focuses on what data should be stored in the databasewhile the process model deals with how the data is processed. To put this in thecontext of the relational database, the data model is used to design the relationaltables. The process model is used to design the queries that will access andperform operations on those tables.

Analysis of the Problem:

The phase of the analysis is based on the feasibility study of the proposed system.Any system is feasible when given infinite time and resources. The problem iswhether the proposed system achieves the goal by using available resources andpre-specified time.

The proposed system manage the data in an efficient manner i.e., it givesprotection of data i.e., authorized access to the data. This is done when we usethe system, which supports console-oriented methodology.

1.1 OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT

USER:

Can register for membership. Can find details related to a particular item. Can view/download a particular item. Giving feedback as per user’s satisfaction. Give ratings to magazines.

Administrator:

Protected access. Insert or delete books. Can read information about any Member. Maintain feedback history as per requirement and implementation plants.

1.2. OBJECTIVES OF COMPUTARIZED E-Library SYSTEM:

To make the existing system more efficient. To provide a user friendly environment where user can beserviced better. Make functioning of library faster. Provide a system where the library staff can catch defaultersand not let them escape. To minimize the loss done to books.

REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

Every engineered and manufactured book must be specified in somefashion. As an item becomes more complicated it will required moredetailed specification. Online Data Base which is a windows basedapplication needs to be configured in a proper manner.

The database configurations must be properly worked out. It is thedatabase that will have to ultimately scale up as and when the numbersof users starts increasing. This section is the introduction of theenvironment to the system where the system runs. There are two types ofinteractions, firstly at the time of design phase and secondly at the time ofrunning the system.

RESULT & DISCUSSIONS

Testing:

Testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders withinformation about the quality of the product or service under test .Software testing also provides an objective, independent view ofthe software to allow the business to appreciate and understandthe risks at implementation of the software. Software testing canalso be stated as the process of validating and verifying that asoftware program/application/product:1. meets the business and technical requirements that guided itsdesign and development;2. Works as expected; and can be implemented with the samecharacteristics.Testing Methods ~

UNIT TESTING: It is undertaken after a module has beencoded and reviewed

BLACK-BOX Testing

Equivalence Class Partitioning

There is a range of User ID The Password should greater than 6 characters Boundary Value Analysis

The user has to choose a book, magazines from agiven list provided by the administrator.

White box testing

If a fake user will try to retrieve the password of any user,he/she will not be succeeded. Only administrator can insert, update, delete the books,magazines.

Grey box testing

CONCLUSIONThe Internet has become a major resource in modern business, thus electronicshopping has gained significance not only from the entrepreneur’s but alsofrom the customer’s point of view. We have designed the project to providethe user with easy navigation, retrieval of data and necessary feedback asmuch as possible.In this project, the user is provided with an e-library web site that can be usedto search books, magazines from the given catalogue online. To implement thisas a web application we used ASP.NET as the Technology. ASP.NET has severaladvantages such as enhanced performance, scalability, built- in security andsimplicity. To build any web application using ASP.NET we need aprogramming language such as C#, VB.NET, J# and so on. C# is used here.ASP.NET uses ADO.NET to interact with the database as it provides in-memorycaching that eliminates the need to contact the database server frequently andit can easily deploy and maintain an ASP.NET application. MySQL was used asback-end database since it is one of the most popular open source databases,and it provides fast data access, easy installation and simplicity. This projecthelps in understanding the creation of an interactive web page and thetechnologies used to implement it. The design of the project which includesData Model and Process Model illustrates how the database is built withdifferent tables, how the data is accessed and processed from the tables. Thebuilding of the project has given us a precise knowledge about how ASP.NETis used to develop a website, how it connects to the database to access thedata and how the data and web pages are modified to provide the user. From aproper analysis of positive points and constraints on the component, it can besafely concluded that the product is a highly efficient GUI based component. .This component can be easily plugged in many other systems.

Future ScopeThe initial focus of this project was developing a secured integrated system .Thedifferent areas where we can use this application are:

•Any education institute can make use of it for providing information aboutauthor, content of the available books.

•It can be used in offices and modifications can be easily done according torequirements.

LIMITATIONS:

Although, the approach of this project is small, we have tried to have minimallimitations and also make it bug and error free.

There are some limitations for the current system to which solutions can beprovided as a future development:

1. The system is not configured for multi- users at this time. The concepttransaction can be used to achieve this.

2. The Website is not accessible to everyone. It can be deployed on a web serverso that everybody who is connected to the Internet can use it.

3. People who have good access to computer networks have a distinctadvantage.
