Enhancement ofUTP E-Library System

At present, there is no specific system for UTP's students and staff to renew book,
reserve book and notify them the due dates of books borrowed and enable them to receive
automatic due date alert. So, instead of going to library to do manually, users can browse
it no matter where they are. The objective of development the UTP E-Library system is to
present the benefits of the online system. The research will justify whether the online
system really can benefit the user and how will user gain advantages from it. To narrow
down the scope further, this study or research will be focusing on the functionalities of
the E-Library system which are renewal book and reservation or booking books in
advance. The users may be able to renew the books and reserve the unavailable book
online through the system. Besides that, the users may check their loan books and
reservation current status. Moreover, users may be also provided with automatic due date
alert and overdue remainders. The system interface will be created using various tools
such as HTML, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and PHP language. The development
process will take count on the Waterfall Methodology with the systematic phase. This
includes step-by-step phases starting with requirement definition, system and software
design, implementation and unit testing, and lastly, integration and system testing.
E-Library system aims to propose a feasible and efficient online library system that can
give benefits to the user
