DESIGN A WEB BASE LIBRARY INFORMATION SYSTEM
(A CASE STUDY OF I.M.T LIBRARY)

ABSTRACT
This project takes a look at the design of an automated or rather computerized system that would provide the solution to the problems that are being encountered in the library system. And in as much this design is an interactive, menu driven and user – friendly system which employs a direct user manipulation interface to simplify data entries, retrieval, computation and selection of redundant data.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING INTRODUCTION
The library is the nerve center of educational institutions especially universities. It is also a crucial center in the educational development of man at any level and more particularly so in any academic pursuit. Time is invaluable in any research hence it is pertinent for one to know low to for friend out where he wants in the library quickly and easy for the development of library and information services as on a rapid movement becoming more and more complex.
The output of information which has researched or exponential rate need to be properly organized for use by students, scholars and researchers in various areas of knowledge. No matter how minute ones area of study or research may be, it is impossible to cover any sizable amount of published works in the area not to take of covering all. To this end, if the student as well as “the researcher will mean or few task common library practical he well save time and avoid much frustration.
Since it has been down out that many study rely on enthusiasm and tenacity to cover the table of adequate knowledge in their daily exploration into the technical knowledge of library methods the facilitate their effective use of the library.
Among the important activities of a computerized and manual library systems are available recorded knowledge for information the reader.
However there are methods that are used by librarian to manage their activities among which are manual, mechanical and electronic. Computerized library system electronic is by far faster, easies to implement than other manual method.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
One of the basic functions of the library is to match information needed by the user with information content of document. This library services have to find way and means of accommodating the information requirement of their readers. Scholars today required access to the recorded knowledge and information that is expanding with no end in sight. This has resulted to higher demand in library services.
The library service has problem of offering error fee and timely information. Their ability to secure and disseminate information with higher degree of accuracy and on time has not been maximized.
There is as well the problem of spending much time in making summary records of resources been out (like books and vide) and resources returned by the users and manual calculation of charges for over due resources
