Blue-Droid: An Intelligent Library Management System on Android Platform

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 4

Abstract

 Abstract : Bluetooth Library Manager (BLM) is library management software which can be used in any library for maintaining different functions like book search, requisition submission, data entry etc. I have implemented this software on Android platform which has the advantage of portability and wide availability. I used Bluetooth as communication medium between the server and the client. BLM has additional capabilities (call, SMS, email) for communication between library card holder and the administration. I have implemented this specially for any educational institution which has a library having capacity not more than 20,000 users. An encryption algorithm is used to enhance the security of that software. This algorithm is used for the log-in purpose. Using the encryption algorithm we encrypt the password in the client side and the cipher-text and the username is send over Bluetooth to the server side. The decryption algorithm is used in the server side to decrypt the cipher-text. Then the decrypted password is matched with corresponding password of that user stored in the server side database. The user can successfully log-in into the system if and only if the password of the database matches with the decrypted password. The entire database of the library is implemented in a normalized way. Student can submit their requisition from there phone without using internet. They can contact their faculties and classmates via SMS, email or call and vice-versa. A student can check the availability using this software. She/he can also see the return-date of any book which is out of stock now and borrowed by another student. Faculties can also send any notification to any student via email or SMS
