This paper presents the implementation of a Raspberry pi-based Library Management System (LMS). Traditional libraries require students to manually search for books. Librarians also must manually classify and organize books together with other tasks like book managing, lending, and borrowing transactions. The introduction of the LMS streamlines these processes while ensuring a more optimal library management process. The LMS offers librarians a comprehensive set of features, including the ability to add, view, update, and remove books, as well as manage student information. Accessible through a wireless local area network (WLAN), the LMS empowers librarians to modify database records efficiently. The adoption of WLAN facilitates wireless connectivity among devices within a defined geographic area where the wireless network is active. The developed system leveraged on PHP for programming, HTML and CSS for design, and MySQL as the backend database technology. The system is hosted on an Apache 3.21 application server, with a Raspberry Pi 4 serving as the web server. Following deployment, the online library management system becomes accessible to users within proximity to the web server. Access is granted via the system's public IP address. The implementation of the developed LMS provides opportunities for better library management and accessibility.

The modern library is not just a repository of books but a dynamic community resource center that provides access to a vast range of information resources and services. The evolving role of libraries necessitates efficient management systems that can streamline operations, enhance user experience, and adapt to technological advancements. The development of a computerized library management system for F.L. Vargas College was guided by the ADDIE model, an instructional design framework developed by Dick and Carey (1978). The ADDIE model’s five phases, analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation, were systematically applied to create an efficient and user-friendly system aimed at addressing the challenges of the college's existing manual library processes. In addition, the study aimed to design and develop a system that manages borrowing, returning, cataloging, and inventory processes efficiently and to assess its compliance with ISO 25010 standards in terms of functionality, reliability, performance efficiency, usability, security, compatibility, maintainability, and portability. Utilizing the waterfall model for development facilitated clear project planning and systematic progress through distinct phases, ensuring thorough testing and verification at each stage. Findings revealed that the developed library management system significantly improved operational efficiency and user experience, receiving high ratings in all ISO 25010 categories with a collective "strongly agree" rating across all the components. The system demonstrated exceptional performance in maintainability, indicating readiness for future upgrades and development. Minor compatibility issues were noted, but overall, the system effectively met quality standards and enhanced library services. In conclusion, the transition from a manual to an automated library management system at F.L. Vargas College has modernized record-keeping, reduced human error, and mitigated physical space constraints, thereby enhancing the overall efficiency and reliability of library operations. The study recommends the full implementation of the system, staff training for optimal use, and routine maintenance to address any compatibility issues and ensure continued improvement and security.

Currently, libraries have realized many aspects of information technology such as book purchases, book collections, RFID, databases and other technologies that improve library management and service levels. One of the technologies used is library robots. Library robots are the integration of automation and information in daily library applications, which can increase the level of library automation. One of the automation systems that need to be applied in the library management system is a robotics system that can arrange books into bookshelf automatically in order to facilitate an automatic and structured book return system. An example is in a library where books must be arranged according to category or title, so that readers can easily find books. But if someone has finished reading a book, sometimes someone forget to put the book back in its place. Placing books in the wrong place can make it difficult for someone to find the book, this will also increase the work of the librarian. For this reason, library management system need an automated mobile robot system to solve the above problem using RFID to recognize book title and A-Star Algorithm to mobile robot move. The a-star algorithm will be used to calculate the closest path for the mobile robot when finding the location of the bookshelf to place books, so that it will shorten the time the mobile robot returns book to the bookshelf. Based on the results of the A-Star algorithm calculation in the case of finding the closest route in the library area, get accurate results and get the closest path from start to finish by considering the final result of the calculation f(n) = g(n) + h(n). Therefore, the A-Star algorithm is recommended to find the closest route calculation which in this case is used to find the fastest route in returning books to the shelves in the library.

enabled library visitor attendance and management system as a single-site case study at STMKG. Academic libraries require structured visit data to support service evaluation and institutional reporting, yet manual logbooks often produce inconsistent records and limit timely analysis. To address this issue, the proposed system digitalizes attendance capture through three integrated workflows within one platform: RFID-based identification for cadets, controlled selection for employees, and a structured manual form for public visitors. The system also provides administrative capabilities for monitoring and reporting, including visit statistics dashboards, time-filtered logs with search, and spreadsheet export for routine reporting needs. The implementation adopts a cloud-backed architecture using a modern web application frontend and a managed backend with database persistence and authentication services. Baseline security controls were incorporated to protect administrative functions and reduce automated abuse at public-facing entry points, including access verification, bot protection, and database-level access boundaries. Functional verification through end-to-end scenario testing confirms that the core attendance workflows, reporting features, and security mechanisms operate as intended within the defined scope. The resulting artifact is deployable in STMKG and can be adapted for similar higher-education libraries seeking practical visitor attendance digitalization.

This article investigates how staff and management in Norwegian academic libraries have experienced the implementation of the new library management system Alma. As a new library management system is introduced, the need for learning on demand emerges. An anonymous survey was sent to all academic libraries in Norway, resulting in a total of 626 responses. This article presents the findings from this survey and provides some reflections on how a firm grip on knowledge management could have helped make such a transition easier.

Digital resources are becoming increasingly complex and are being used in diverse ways. For example, educational resources may be cataloged in digital libraries, used offline by educators and students, or used in a learning management system. In this paper we present the notion of “checking out” complex resources from a digital library for offline download or exchange with another digital library or learning management system. We present a mechanism that enables the customization, download and exchange of complex resources. We show how the mechanism also supports digital library and learning management system exchange formats in a generic fashion with minimal overhead. We also show how checkouts grow linearly with respect to the complexity of the resources.KeywordsDigital LibraryComplex ObjectLearn Management SystemDirectory StructureCanonical StructureThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

CAIRS and MICRO‐CAIRS are well‐established text retrieval systems; LMS (Library Management System) was launched at the end of 1987 to offer library housekeeping facilities in addition to text retrieval. Many CAIRS features are included in LMS, and LMS can be supplied as a separate, stand‐alone product without needing to buy standard CAIRS or MICRO‐CAIRS; alternatively, the two can run in parallel, with LMS perhaps being used for specific housekeeping tasks, e.g. loans control. In this case, a link can be made between the two systems for pulling across the necessary data from the CAIRS databases. There are three modules: catalogue and acquisitions; loans; and periodicals acquisition. Each module can be purchased separately.
