Abstract
An e-library system is a very important element of the internet age libraries. A library without it may face a lot of challenges like the lack of adequate visitation by the users. This paper presents an e-library system that was developed using PHP programming language, HTML and CSS for design and MySQL as a backend database technology to run on Apache v3.21 application server and Mozilla FireFox web browser. The system allows multimedia sources to be accessed by the users of the library and was able to eliminate the problems of unavailiability of library resources, inadequate space, physical bounding and restricted access that characterized the traditional library system.
![[1] designed a web-based integrated library system which was able to automate most of the existing library functionalities. An internet security solution was incorporated, specifically web-based Kaspersky 2000, which was installed on the server hosting the system to protect the system from all network threats when the system functionalities are put into use.

School libraries generally aim to provide information services on borrowing and returning books to students and teachers. The library of Pasundan 7 Bandung Junior High School has a large collection of books, both in the form of textbooks, collections of questions, magazines and newspapers. However, this library has not been well managed because all activities still use manual methods and do not have good documentation. This can be seen from the way students experience difficulties when looking for the desired book, then the process of recording borrowing and returning books that are still manual so that it takes a long time and the data storage is not guaranteed, the number of scattered records that confuse officers when matching data to make reports, because it is only stored in the form of ordinary archives that are easily lost. Therefore, a web-based library information system is needed at Pasundan 7 Bandung Junior High School. The Library Information System of SMP Pasundan 7 Bandung aims to assist library staff in minimizing service time with the help of computerized transactions, especially in book loan and return transactions. In designing an information system, all data related to the library is stored in a file warehouse called a database. To produce a good and correct database, it is necessary to carry out system design stages. The goal is to produce good data input. This Final Project discusses the design of creating a web-based information system, which can assist library staff in the process of delivering library information at Pasundan 7 Bandung Junior High School. This research focuses on designing a library information system in a school environment. The purpose of this research is to change the pattern of conventional services into computerization to facilitate data management in book borrowing and returning transactions in preventing data loss. The research method used is descriptive analysis method, which is a research method that tries to describe the object or subject under study objectively, and aims to describe the facts systematically and the characteristics of the object and the frequency studied precisely. Information system design is built using the waterfall method. Or through sequential stages in the hope of producing a design that is in accordance with the existing target needs. Data collection methods by means of interviews and direct observation. The results showed that using a computerized system is much more effective than the conventional way and even more efficient. The effectiveness of implementing a web-based Library Information System at Pasundan 7 Bandung Junior High School can be seen from the service process carried out.

The purpose of school library as a place to read is now less and less desirable by students to read books and search for scientific literature, this is because it is defeated by information media such as the internet which is easier to use in searching for various kinds of knowledge and reading sources. The impact of the information media is also experienced by the SMK PGRI Sukodadi Library which has a large collection of books that should be used by students to support learning activities but students are less interested in reading and borrowing books from the library in addition to having certain assignments from the teacher that require students to borrow books. from the library. Seeing the problems above, a website-based library information system design is made and the development of a library management information system at SMK PGRI Sukodadi Lamongan.

Digital libraries are platforms that allow users to access structured information in a knowledge-based repository of data and access. In the end, the availability of good content and easy accessibility and use will drive the production and growth of digital libraries. Significant advancements in IT and the rapid development of online data have generated an intense interest in tools to help users find desired data. This paper describes how, particularly in college libraries, a digital library can be built and enforced in an academic library. The specifications for hardware, software, processing and recovery technologies are addressed. An elegant user interface, combined with better browsing, insertion and reporting capabilities, functionality that anyone can access from anywhere. The library's automatic update facility helps to get a clear idea of which books are accessed by the members, allows users to create a 'hard copy' report. The Digital library system stores information such as name, address, ID number, date of birth of library members. The information of books such as book name, book number, topic to which it refers, author, edition, edition, year of publication, total number of publications, total number of books in the library can also be stored and accessed digitally.

ABSTRACT: Library is a collection of sources of information and similar resources, made accessible to a defined community for reference or borrowing. Thus the process of handling a library manually is very troublesome and clumsy. As regards to this point of view, the computerized system for handling the activities of library management provides a comprehensive way to lessen physical labour, to reduce complexity of the manual system and soon. This project work aim to design and implement a computerized library management system. The library management system was design and implemented using the HTML (Hypertext mark-up language), CSS (Cascading style sheet), PHP (Hypertext pre-processor) and My SQL database. The booking and lending is an automated web program. This allows the students (users) to access the platform anytime and anywhere. The system was developed using the Waterfall model of software development approach. An extensive evaluation of the project determines that the project achieved many of its predefined objectives.

The library is an important part of higher education, where the teaching and learning process does not escape from teaching materials and reference materials. Qamarul Huda Badaruddin University is one of the universities in NTB which has a library with a desktop-based library system. This has an impact on the management of libraries and users which in this case students become ineffective and inefficient. With a high need for libraries, library managers, namely librarians and students as users, need a web-based information system so that they can be used from anywhere and anytime, simply using a smartphone or computer. To answer the above problems, the authors design and build a web-based library information system at Qamarul Huda Badaruddin University using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method. The framework uses CodeIgniter which allows developers to create web applications with Rapid Application Development (RAD) development characteristics. The Qamarul Huda Badaruddin University Library Information System consists of 12 functional requirements, which cover all the requirements for the Qamarul Huda Badaruddin University library. Completion of each module also refers to all stages of the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method and all of them can run well.
