Purpose This document describes the software requirements and specification (SRS) for LMS software. The document is intended for the customer and the developer (designers, testers , maintainers). The reader is assumed to have basic knowledge of LMS. Knowledge and understanding of Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams is also re quired.

Intended Audience The intended audience consists of • Software Project Managers • Software Engineers • Software Developers • Library Organizers

Project Scope LMS is essentially meant of collections. It is a multi-user version and can take care of all the fundamental functions of a Library like Cataloguing, Circulation, Accessioning and Housekeeping. It can satisfactorily cater to all the basic functions of a small library.

Overall Description Modern Libraries are not made up of just Books but CD ROM’s, Articles, Project Reports, Bound volumes are substantial part of the holding, Managing the holdings manually is a not a simple job. There are few solutions but many a times, we find ourselves "making them works" by finding "ways to work around" system inadequacies. Moreover we have limited staff resources, these "work around" waste time, effort, and skills that should be spent on user services. Many solutions do not keep up with the technological changes and hence prove to be time wasters. Library Management system is a small footprint software suitable for personal / individual Libraries. You can store the information about the books and other material and control the movement of the same. Silent Features • Control the movement of books and other material and avoid loosing the same. • Search if you have a specific book in your collection based on the title, author etc. • Print the spine labels for the book. • Find what a specific person has borrowed from you. It offers the following modules Cataloguing, Circulation, Queries

Cataloguing - Salient Features You can create a catalogue of your books, CDs, maps, drawings and all similar collections using this module. It supports various classification schemes like DDC, DD, and CC etc. The cataloguing module is based on AACR2 (Anglo American Cataloguing Rule Circulation Circulation module deals with issue and return of material from the Library. It is a barcode and smart card enabled system and hence the issue and return of material is handled uniformly. You can issue member cards and also do the transactions.
