Design and Implementation of a Web-Based Library Management System

Education plays a crucial role in the development of a nation, and for its successful implementation, quality reading resources, such as books, magazines, journals, dictionaries, and other reading materials, are required to facilitate the teaching and learning process. A library serves as a hub for educational institutions that house diverse collections of books, periodicals, and documents. However, the conventional manual library management system utilized by some private schools in Jakarta City has limitations, such as time-consuming processes for searching, borrowing, returning books, and generating reports. This study proposes the implementation of a web-based library management system employing cutting-edge technology to address these issues. This paper’s primary objective is to design a web-based library management system that enables efficient book borrowing and return. To achieve this objective, the study employs a use-case diagram, an entity-relationship diagram, and library web design. A questionnaire survey is used to collect data, which is appropriate for the research context and offers a cost-effective, efficient, and quick method for collecting data from a large sample size. Designing the library web, creating a questionnaire, distributing it to testers, and analyzing their responses comprise the research methodology.
