Library Management System

Overview

The Library Management System is a Java-based application designed to streamline the operations of a library, including managing books, members, transactions, and more. This project serves as a comprehensive solution for libraries to efficiently organize and handle various tasks related to book management and user interactions.

Technologies Used

• Java : Core programming language for development.

• Hibernate : Object-relational mapping for simplified database interactions.

• Spring : Infrastructure support for managing components and implementing business logic.

• Spring Boot : Streamlined development of production-ready applications.

• REST API : Enables standardized and scalable communication between components.

• Postman : Used for testing and documenting the REST API.

These technologies collectively contribute to a robust and efficient Library Management System.

Features

• Book Management : Add, update, and delete books from the catalog. Check the availability status of each book.

• Member/User Management : Maintain a record of library members, including their personal details and membership information.

• Transaction/Loan Handling : Facilitate book checkouts and returns. Calculate fines for overdue books.

• Catalog/Inventory Management : Keep track of the library's catalog, including the quantity available, acquisition date, and shelf location.

• Reservation System : Allow users to reserve books, manage reservations, and process them when books become available.

• Fine/Penalty System : Track fines incurred by members for overdue books and enable payment processing.

• Library Staff Management : Manage information about library staff members, their roles, and contact details.

• Library Branch Information : Maintain details about different library branches, including location and operating hours.

Getting Started

To run the Library Management System on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/adityakalambe01/Library-Management-System.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd library-management-system

3. Modify src/main/resources/ modify and replace all of application.properties content with

   server.port=9090
   
   spring.mvc.view.prefix=/pages/
   
   spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp
   
   #modify port with your MySQL port ex jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/project
   
   spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:port/library_management_system
   
   #modify username and password
   
   spring.datasource.username=username
   
   spring.datasource.password=password
   
   spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver
   
   spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL8Dialect
   
   spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
   
   spring.jpa.show-sql=true
   
   #spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true
   
   spring.jackson.serialization.fail-on-empty-beans=false
   

4. Go to MySQL command line client and hit

   create database library_management_system;
   

5. Now Library Management System is ready to run go to the src/main/java/com and run MainProjectApplication.java

Acknowledgements

I would like to acknowledge that I am the sole contributor to this project. While the code and design are my own, the project wouldn't have been possible without the support and resources available in the open-source community.

Thank you.
