1.1. Justification for the Proposed System

1. The system provides the facility of record keeping for books and library staff, it is a

modern method of keeping records safe and secure in computer system so that addition,

deletion and cancelation of book order will be easy. The availability of computers have

made this system popular in every university. Since the funds needed.

2. Less capital will be used as the cost of printing book is eliminated. its cost is low since it

requires only database updating from time to time, and skilled people to do this job

manually are not enough

2. Risks and Cost Estimates

2.1. Risks and risk mitigations

Risks Mitigations

1. Size of product in number of

programs, files, transactions is

large?

1. Before staring the project take a

deep study on the modules,

entities and data involved to avoid

unnecessary files.

2. Size of database created or used

by the product?

2. Ask complete user requirements

before building database

3. Number of projected changes to

the requirements for the

product? Before delivery? After

delivery?

3. Before the start of project , specify

the possible points where user can

change the requirements

4. Reasonable delivery deadlines? 4. Be specific to delivery deadlines and

better to call a developers meeting to

decide the each deadline

5. Does the customer have a solid

idea of what is required?

5. Before the start of the project look

at customer requirements

6. Are the best people available? 6. Before the start of the project

choose appropriate and expert

developers

7. Are staff committed for entire

duration of the project?

7. Make sure all the developers work

throughout the project because if one

member leave it will reduce the speed

and create problems in development

3. Conclusions and Recommendation

Conclusions

This feasibility study report was about to develop a simple library management system which is used

To store, delete, handle and retrieve information about books, CDs, magazines etc. It will solve

Problem and time saving for the user because it is computerized working environment

Recommendation

For the system to function to its best capability, the analyst recommends the following:

It is recommended that use operating system for smooth running of the project (windows 8 or

windows 10).

High security measures should be upheld in order to avoid theft crimes at the library.

The latest versions of antivirus be installed and updated frequently in order to detect the many

virus programs that are emerging daily in the IT society.
