Key words: Libraries; Book-borrowing; Computers; Management; Strategies 2Introduction As essential and dynamic part of the library management system, the libraries book-borrowing management system is of critical
5、significance for both decision-makers and managers of the libraries. This is because that the libraries book-borrowing management is one of the most important guarantees for guiding the readers and users to accurately and rapidly acquire the collection resources of libraries and carry out the effect
6、ive management for theses resources as well. Besides, the libraries book-borrowing management system can provide the readers and users with a faster searching method as well as the sufficient information. Hence, the libraries book-borrowing management is especially important. However, currently, as
7、the times accomplish a rapid development without a stop, it is necessary for the libraries book-borrowing work to depend on the computers to make an enhancement to the working efficiency and management level. Hence, the automation and standardization of the libraries book-borrowing management can at
8、tain an improvement. In this paper, by taking the strategies of the libraries book-borrowing management as the theme, the author carries out a discussion. 3Therefore, this paper is of certain practical and guidance significance. Shortcomings of the Traditional Libraries Book-borrowing Management Mod
9、el For a very long time, people often make use of the traditional manual operation model to carry out the management on the daily work of the libraries, and hence have been highly familiar with the process of the book-borrowing and book-returning of the libraries. Before the computers had not been a
10、pplied extensively in the libraries, it was necessary for the process of the book-borrowing and book-returning to mainly depend on the manual operation. One of the most typical manual operations to process the book-returning was that the readers handed over the books that they desired to borrow to t
11、he librarians with their book-borrowing certificates together, and then the librarians placed the card attached with a description for the book and the book-borrowing certificate in a box and then filled the borrowing information in the book-borrowing columns of both book-borrowing certificate and e
12、ach book section. In such a way, the borrowing process came to an end. However, when the readers wanted to return the books to the libraries, readers were 4necessary to hand over the books to the librarians, and then the librarians found the corresponding book cards and book-borrowing certificates i
13、n accordance with the book information and then filled the related book-returning information. In such a way, the book-returning process was completed as well. From the above, the shortcomings of the manual operations on the book-borrowing management are obvious to all. First, the efficiencies of th
14、e work flow of processing the book-borrowing and book-returning were very low. Second, the capability of processing the book-borrowing and book-returning was low as well. This was because the number of the readers that the libraries could serve for was rather limited with a certain period. For this
15、reason, beyond all doubts, the application of the computers to processing the book-borrowing and book-returning flow can make an enhancement to the efficiency and processing capability to an extremely great extent. People can see that the queue of the readers that want to borrow and return books is
16、no longer long in the libraries. The possibilities for the librarians to make a mistake are lower as well. At the same time, the readers can spend more time on the selection and reading of the books. 5Design and Implementation of the Libraries Book-borrowing Management System In the modern times, as
17、 the science and technology attain a flourishing development and the economy and cultures obtain a continuous growth, the computer technology has developed at a swift speed and simultaneously has changed into one of the powerful assistants for the work and life of the people all over the world. Howe
18、ver, although the prices of the computers are declining with a gradual step, their performances are accomplishing a continuous progress. Computers have exerted their fast speed and high efficiency characteristics in the multiple fields. As an important part of the application of the computer technol
19、ogy, the computers can play a role that the manual management cannot replace In the following, according to the requirements of the small and medium libraries, a management software application is designed for the book-borrowing of the libraries. Development Tool. Visual FoxPro 6.0 is used as the so
20、ftware development tool. This software has the totally-new PC platform relationship database management system, the friendly graphical user interface, the rich and complete tools, the unique cross-6platform features, the good compatibility and the real compilation. Visual FoxPro 6.0 makes use of the
21、 visualization technology and object-oriented programming technology that are the most popular in the computer field, and is capable of providing the users with a large number of generators and wizards and helping them develop programs better and faster. In addition, in order to meet the needs of th
22、e visual programming, Visual FoxPro 6.0 also provides the users with a series of visual programming tools, and hence makes the visualization of the reports, databases, forms, and query and other design process realized fully. Introduction to the Libraries Book-borrowing Management System. This syste
23、m is mainly composed of the six modules as shown in the following. (1) Browsing module: Helping the readers to browse the collection resources of the libraries for the sake of the easy selection (2) Search module: Helping the readers to accurately and rapidly search the information of the books that
24、 they desire (3) Modification module: Helping the librarians get rid of and update the information of books, edit the latest borrowing 7situation of books and simultaneously complete the change of the password (it is necessary for the libraries to strictly claim that only the librarians own this pri
25、vilege) (4) Printing module: Helping the readers or the librarians print the information that they need with the form of reports (5) Help module: The instruction and book-borrowing rules for logging in the system (6) Exit module: Helping the users terminate the running of the system and exit from it
26、 with security Specific Design of the Libraries Book-borrowing Management System. In the process of designing the system, the structured programming method is used to decompose a complex issue into the multiple independent modules for the analysis. In this process, each module is necessary to indepe
27、ndently complete a sub-function and make use of the interactive interface for the users to exchange and communicate. Database table: The basic structure of the relationship database system Menu: In order to realize the man-machine dialogue, a friendly interface is provided for the users. The form is
28、 composed of the components as shown in the following. (1) Starting interface: This is designed in order to make the management system beautiful and simple 8(2) Password form: This is designed in order to make the security of the system secured (3) Paging browsing: This is designed in order to facil
29、itate the users to browse the basic information of books of the libraries (4) Paging viewing: Readers or librarians can naturally view the information of the books in accordance with the book numbers in the list box (5) Subentry query: Readers can make an order query in accordance with the different
30、 information, such as author, publishing house and book numbers (6) Integrated query: Readers and users can make a query on the same page of the computer and are unnecessary to enter all categories to query (7) Password maintenance: This is designed to protect the safe use of passwords (8) Book-borr
31、owing rule: This helps the readers and users to get an understanding of the book-borrowing rules of the libraries (9) System instruction: This is designed to display the information related to the libraries book-borrowing management system 9(10) Exit interface: This is designed to end the related op
32、erations and make the users exit the system with security Form: The related retrieval information is truly shown to the users through the printing sheet. (1) Author works report form: The report form for printing the information of related authors (2) Book-borrowing situation report form: The report
33、 form for printing the information of the related books that are borrowed by the users (3) Basic book information report form: The report form for printing the information of the related books of the libraries Menu: This provides the readers and users with the visual exchange interface for the sake
34、of the secured operation. (1) Main Menu: This mainly includes the functions of browsing, modification, query, print, exit, etc (2) Sub-menus: All detailed functions of the main menu for the users to select books easily Conclusion The libraries book-borrowing management software, which is developed b
35、ased on Visual FoxPro 6.0, can help the librarians and readers see the borrowing situation of the collection resources of the libraries with a better effect, and 10simultaneously can facilitate the readers to select the books that they desire better on their own.
