Issue and return of book:
For issue, renew or return process, student does not need to carry the library card and librarian does not need to carry out the book transaction process. So this will automate the whole process of library management by removing the manual interference. For any transaction process, student needs to enter an unique identification number. Then student has to scan the book which he wants to issue or return or renew. Then student has to select the appropriate option for transaction i.e. issue, renew or return. The database will be updated. The main feature of our system is verification. Verification ensures that the student does not leave the library without issuing the library material. So this will avoid the misplacement and theft of the books. Figure 2:Flow diagram for exit system.

Android Application:
Also we are proposing an user interface probably an android application which will help students to search the books from anywhere which are currently available in the library. The student will have an unique ID which will be used by the student to register or login on the application. Then student can search any book from anywhere. The application will give recommendations based on the ratings and current searches. Also, it will take into account the past history and searches of the user, thus making it predict user’s choice more accurately. Then the location of the book in the shelf will be provided.
