1. Intent of the DatabaseThis is a database which shows a typical database system for the Library used in a college which is very essential for both the college which is managing the Library and also the students or users using it.

We have designed a database to present an abstract of a Library Management system. The visual view of this database has many related entities. This database is viewed in two ways. One, as administrator point of view and another as Librarian point of view.

The intent of this database is to provide the end user (Librarian) with a simple and quick interface to lookup for the books rented to the students and users, Books available in the library and the collection of different authors. By using this database, the librarian will be able to conveniently track the books availability and the rent details. This look-up on the database assures accuracy with respect to books availability, who rented that book, when the book will be available. This helps the Librarian to track all the books.

Additionally, the intent of the database is also to provide all privileges to the administrator. By this administrator will be able change the user information as per the library requirements, inserting new users to database, adding new books or modify the book details, deleting the books. Any change made by the administrator will be reflected instantly in the database and available to the Librarian.

One of the exciting parts of this database is that, it can store the history of all the Rental details and details of the users who rented it. This gives us a very clear picture of when the book will be available for others to rent that book. If users fails to provide the book before the deadline from their data we can easily contact that person.

To conclude, this database is a realistic one and can be very helpful for the library to implement this library management system which keeps track of all the details about the books, authors and the publishers etc.
