Abstract
Islamic manuscripts, documents, and religious books go way back in the early ages. These have been preserved at Balkans in the library named Gazi Husrev-beg, Library in an extensive manner. The premises are situated in the vicinity of a mosques complex called Sarajevo where the massive collection is articulated and catalogued in a brand new manner. It has a rich database in learning the Ottoman Empire and more specifically the Balkans in precision. The library was officially started in 2014 stating to be a state-of-art for the aspirers, researchers, historians, archeologists and every enthusiast as well as for general public. This research paper is devised in order to formulate a structure for library management system that can help preserve the age old assets like books, manuscripts, journals, articles, DVDs, etc. Everything is electronically managed and stored in a peculiar format. In order to keep a note on the entire system, the structure is beneficial to students, professors, librarians, public visitors etc. The process of issuing a given entity (book, or journal, or manuscript or anything from the library) and returning is kept a digital track and predefined penalty is cited to the individual if the returning of entity is late, or damaged, or misplaced. To maintain this procedure in a manual format might be confusing and tedious. To overcome the stress of maintaining this manually, a data structure is prepared, and algorithms are formed to get access of the library from multiple places of Gazi Husrev-beg Library.

Summary
There are several libraries containing manuscripts, books, articles etc. related to Islamic world but the collection of Gazi Husrev-beg Library is amalgamated with aggregations of thousands of books, manuscripts, Sufi lodges, papers of various madrasah, and private libraries from past several years. Two similar projects were going on the line as sighted by Sarajevo but are found to be missing This process was dragged unnoticed until 20th century when the collection of books started and a new library was into consideration to build and preserve the ones that are lost and endangered. The catalogue was proposed in 1963 for the first time and its subordinate volumes continued in a chain over the years These books and valuables were hidden in the time of war from 1991-1994 in personal homes, bank safe-vaults, and highly confidential places to preserve the literature. To manage the inventory of thousands of books, manuscripts, journals, articles and much more a centralized system is devised as a prototype This prototype is devised in an effective and intricate way by using data structures and algorithms in order to devise a centralized software. All the operations related to managing of inventory and exchange of books, journals, articles, DVDs etc. between the library and any individual is operated from a single unit [1]
