I am excited to submit my proposal for the development of an Online Library Management System using Python and Django. Based on your requirements, I believe I can deliver a high-quality system that meets your expectations.
Overview:
Implement user authentication with different privileges for students, librarians, and administrators.
Develop features for adding, updating, and deleting books, including details such as title, author, publication information, genre, availability status, and number of copies.
Allow administrators to manage student information, including registration details, borrowing history, and fines.
Create a borrowing system that handles book checkouts, returns, due dates, notifications for overdue items, and fines collection.
Enable students to search for books based on various criteria and implement advanced search options.
Implement reservation and hold request functionality for students to reserve unavailable books.
Develop a fine management system to track fines for overdue items and allow students to pay fines online.
Include reporting and analytics features to generate statistics on book availability, borrowing trends, popular genres, and overdue items.
Design a user-friendly interface using Django's templating system, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
