A library circulation system for city and special libraries

Purpose – The aim of this research is to model and implement a software system for library circulation, so that all requirements of city and special libraries for electronic business with the library users can be fulfilled.Design/methodology/approach – Object‐oriented methodology is used for modelling of information systems. Modelling is carried out in the CASE tool that supports the Unified Modelling Language (UML 2.0). The software architecture of the system is based on the software components and web services.Findings – The result is a software system for library circulation. The application of the system supports the work with the local database (intranet), as well as with the remote database (internet). Also the application supports the work with different library formats (UNIMARC, MARC21 et al.).Research limitations/implications – The system is integrated into the BISIS system so that communication with the system for cataloguing is carried out via the text server of the BISIS system.
