The purpose of a library management system is to operate a library
with efficiency
and at reduced costs.
The system being entirely automated streamlines all the tasks involved in operations of the library.
The activities of book purchasing, cataloging, indexing, circulation recording
and stock checking are done by the software. Such software eliminates the need
for repetitive manual work
and minimizes the chances of errors.
The library management system software helps in reducing operational costs. Managing a library manually is labor intensive and an immense amount of paperwork is involved. An automated system reduces the need for manpower and stationery. This leads to lower operational costs. The system saves time for both the user and the librarian. With just a click the user can search for the books available in the library. The librarian can answer queries with ease regarding the availability of books. Adding, removing or editing the
database is a simple process. Adding new members or cancelling existing memberships can be done with ease.
