Intelligent library management system

Abstract

A library is a collection of sources of information and similar other resources. The emergence of Intelligent Library Management Systems (ILMS) is a key trend in library automation. In libraries, the management of the book is a very complicated and time-consuming process. A Library includes books, question papers, newspaper journals, and previous year’s project details, etc. The integration of emerging technologies beyond RFID in academic libraries. The introduction lays the groundwork for exploring innovative solutions such as AI, machine learning, and data analytics, aiming to optimize library services and meet evolving user needs. This paper mainly deals with the description and evolution of library systems and their disadvantages over centuries in different parts of the world. The source of information in an Institution is a Library. Here Librarian plays a very important role in managing the Library functions such as adding new students, book data, date of issuing and returning the book, and entering all the relevant details of the books, etc. For this, the student has to wait for his /her turn as the Librarian enters data student by student. Thus, it is a very time-consuming process and costly because of high manpower requirements. An innovative Intelligent Library Management System (ILMS) utilizing AI, GSM, and RFID. Their system aims to streamline library operations and improve user experiences through advanced technology integration. This research showcases the potential of ILMS to modernize library services and meet the demands of the digital era. This paper mainly focuses on the basic library operation and some added features like viewing total books, viewing available books, updating information, searching books, and a facility to request and return books and some alert systems. This paper examines the amalgamation of AI, GSM, and RFID for advanced library management systems. Results demonstrate enhanced efficiency and user experience, showcasing the efficacy of this integrated approach. Our project introduces novel advancements in library management, exemplified by its successful deployment in a real college library. This implementation underscores the worth of our work, offering tangible improvements in efficiency and effectiveness.
