Problem Statement:
Develop a Library Management System using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) to
provide an efficient and user-friendly platform for managing library operations. The system should enable
librarians to manage members, books, and transactions in a seamless manner, improving the overall
efficiency of the library.
Core Functionalities:
. CRUD Operations for Members:
Create: Register new library members.
Read: View member details, including their borrowing history.
Update: Modify member information.
Delete: Remove members from the system.
. CRUD Operations for Books:
Create: Add new books to the libraryʼs inventory.
Read: Access detailed information about each book, including availability.
Update: Update book details or status.
Delete: Remove books from the inventory.
. Managing Transactions:
Borrowing Books: Allow members to borrow books, updating the bookʼs status to checked
out.
Returning Books: Process the return of books, making them available for others.
Status Tracking: Keep track of the status of each book (Available, Borrowed, Overdue).
Overdue Notifications: Automatically notify members about overdue books.
. Advanced Features:
Search Functionality: Enable users to search for books or members using various filters.
Late Fees Calculation: Automatically calculate and apply late fees for overdue books.
Reports Generation: Generate reports for library inventory, member activity, and transaction
history.
Technical Considerations:
Use MongoDB for data storage, leveraging its flexibility for storing members, books, and transaction
records.
Implement the backend with Node.js and Express.js, creating RESTful APIs for handling all CRUD
operations and business logic.
Develop the frontend with React.js, ensuring a responsive and interactive user interface.
Ensure data validation and error handling for a robust application.
Implement user authentication and authorization for secure access to the system.
By following this problem statement and overview, you can build a comprehensive library management
system using the MERN stack, enhancing library operations and user experience.
