In the ever-evolving landscape of academic institutions, efficient library management systems are essential to support research, learning, and knowledge dissemination. This abstract provides an overview of JNTUKLIBCON, a comprehensive library management system developed for Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada (JNTUK). JNTUKLIBCON is designed to streamline and enhance the library's operations by offering three distinct interfaces: one for administrators, one for librarians, and one for students. Each interface caters to specific user roles, ensuring efficient management of library resources, user accounts, and material requisitions. The system leverages web technologies, including HTML, Java Server Pages (JSP), Tomcat Web server, and a MySQL database, to create a user-friendly and responsive platform. It encompasses a wide range of features, from user authentication to the management of various library materials, such as books, e-books, e-journals, and research reports. Administrators have the privilege of overseeing user accounts, student records, and library resources, while librarians can efficiently manage materials and track material requisitions. Students benefit from a simplified interface for checking material availability and accessing electronic resources. The system's deployment promises to enhance resource management, increase accessibility to electronic materials, and improve overall user experiences within the library. It offers a centralized platform that simplifies library administration and empowers users to make the most of the available resources.
