- Title and copy level cataloguing
Project overview
Books are catalogued at both title and copy level, which is the modelling decision that makes the project worth building. A library has three copies of the same title, and each copy is issued and returned independently — a schema that conflates them cannot answer the question of which copy is overdue.
Issue and return operations enforce limits per member and per membership type, and fines accrue automatically from the due date. Availability is derived from copy status rather than tracked as a separate counter that can drift.
It is a comfortable-sized project for BCA and diploma students: enough business rules to be interesting, small enough to finish and understand completely.
Features
- Separate title and copy records so individual copies are tracked
- Issue limits by membership type
- Automatic fine calculation from the due date
- Availability derived from copy status rather than a separate counter
- Search across title, author, category and accession number
- Overdue and circulation reporting
How it works
- 1A title is catalogued once, and each physical copy is added against it with its own accession number.
- 2Issuing checks the member's current count against their type's limit and marks that specific copy issued.
- 3A due date is set from the issue date and the loan period for that membership type.
- 4On return the copy is marked available and any fine is computed from the days elapsed past the due date.
- 5Availability for a title is the count of its copies currently marked available.
Components used
- Book catalogue at title and copy level
- Member registration with membership types
- Issue and return workflow with limits
- Automatic fine calculation from due dates
- Search across title, author and category
- Overdue and circulation reports
Questions about this project
Why separate title and copy records?
Because a library holds several copies of the same title and each is issued independently. Modelling them separately is what lets the system say which copy is overdue and with whom.
Is this suitable for a first software project?
Yes. The rules are clear, the scope is contained, and the schema is small enough to hold in your head — which is exactly what you want going into a viva.
