Library Management System
Java Spring Boot Application
A comprehensive library management solution for tracking books, users, and lending operations.
1The Problem
Libraries need efficient systems to manage their book inventory, track lending operations, handle user registrations, and manage due dates and fines. Manual processes are error-prone and time-consuming. A digital solution was needed to streamline these operations.
2The Approach
Built a full-featured library management system using Java and Spring Boot. The application follows MVC architecture with a clean separation of concerns. Features include book catalog management with search and filter capabilities, user registration and authentication, book lending and return tracking, due date reminders, and fine calculation. MySQL database stores all persistent data with proper relationships.
3Technologies Used
4The Outcome
Delivered a fully functional library management system that handles all core library operations. The system supports multiple user roles (admin, librarian, member) with appropriate permissions. The intuitive interface makes it easy for staff to manage daily operations.
5Lessons Learned
This project strengthened my Java and Spring Boot skills significantly. I learned about enterprise application architecture, role-based access control, and handling complex business logic. The project also taught me about database design for real-world applications with complex relationships.
