Android Application for Library Management

Abstract� Currently, library is a significant source of knowledge for educational institutions. Hence taking into consideration the eventual use of library by people we are developing a mobile application for library for smart phone users. This is an Engineering based recommended application. We are developing a three tier architecture that consists of Front End, Middle-ware and Back End.. The Front End consists of Java functions and XML layouts. It represents the user friendly interface through which user can search as well as check the availability of books. The Middle-ware consists of PHP, where the data is retrieved and stored from Front End and Back End. MySQL and XAMPP server will be used in the Back End. The main concern of this application is to check the availability of books by presenting a new technique that is keyword searching. With context to the information retrieval, Stemming technique will be performed here.
