Abstract: Library management system from Index Terms: QR code, Matrix , Library ancient age one of the research area and bar codes Management system, python, Qt5 frame work. are extensively used in most of the modern library management system. This Research project is I. INTRODUCTION aimed to develop smart library management In this digital world in advances in communication system using QR code. QR codes are two technology data and information is no longer tide dimensional matrix . QR codes can be to physical location. Current generation students widely used in both commercial and institutions often adapt at multiprocessing and make use of with the increased use of smart phones, as smart internet resources rather than offline library mobile phones can scan the sensible data. Use of resources. This can be attributed to an ease of QR code in Library management system is very finding information in one click rather than easy but still in primary stage. Library should try to spending time in searching books. The primary keep up with digital world with various issue for any library system is organization and technologies in this modern age. The importance record keeping. Due to large no. of users and items of library system is because these systems are used there are chances of misplace of books due to as primary resource of information by many frequent movement of books within or outside of peoples. Most of the libraries currently working library. The struggle for librarian and users to find with large number of persons for daily activities the books. and supervision. QR code based Library To overcome all the difficulties of Librarian and management system is very efficient and reliable users and improve the overall functioning of for Librarian, staff and students. This system will Library a QR code based Library Management simplify library processes to keep track of all system is introduced. In this system Database for records, and make library more directly accessible all books, staff and students is being made with the to its users. In this system python Qt5 frame work use of QR code and same is uploaded in system application is being used for College Library with python flask framework. Implementation of database which can be accessed through out the Library Management System using python Qt5 institution. This system works in real time and easy framework is based on the database management access to information to every member associated system. This software is designed to manage all with the system. Users must be registered with the records of books and information of staff and system administration after which they can access students for issue and return of books.

Details of QR codes are: instrumentation at huge speed with vertical and horizontal directions. There are mainly four kinds a) QR Code Structure of data such as numeric, alphanumeric, or QR codes were developed in by Denso Wave, a binary and Kanji which are encoded into Toyota subsidiary as a matrix code to maintain information or through supported extensions. information in two vertical and horizontal

dimensions. QR codes were introduced freely as a method for qualifying shelving in production units in 1994. These codes are in line with the international standard of ISO/IEC18004, although it does not support all existing smart phones. The aforementioned standards increase the number of producers and readers of QR codes and also make them compatible with each other, although one must consider the possible problems of Fig.1: QR code Bitmap these standards in smart phones. QR codes Python flask framework is a technology that is features include high reading speed, data storage used for developing library management and transfer, 360-degree readability, resistance system. Flask is web frame work written in to contamination and defects and adding up to python. It can be classified into micro 16 symbols to the structure (2).
