Building a Library Management System Using C

Introduction

Hello, everyone! Today, I'm excited to share a project I developed as part of my BSc in Computer Engineering: a Library Management System using the C programming language. This system is designed to help manage the operations of a library by allowing you to add, view, search, update, and delete book records. Let’s dive into the details of this project, its objectives, implementation, and limitations.

Project Objectives

The primary goals of this project are:

• To create a user-friendly system for managing library books.
• To enable efficient storage and retrieval of book information.
• To provide functionalities for adding new books, viewing all books, searching for specific books, updating existing book records, and deleting books from the system.
• To implement this system using C programming with file handling for managing book records.

Features

The Library Management System includes several key features:

• Add Book: Allows users to add new books to the library.
• View Books: Displays a list of all books in the library.
• Search Book: Enables users to search for books by title.
• Update Book: Allows updating the details of an existing book.
• Delete Book: Enables the deletion of books by ID.

Now, let’s break down how each part of this system works.

Book Structure

First, we define a structure to represent each book. This includes the book ID, title, author, and publication year.
