Schools set the various pedagogical changes to achieve the current level of education in other countries. Because of the growing numbers of computer users, this became an effective medium to demonstrate the knowledge and skills of the students. From the traditional searching process for the books in the libraries, the interactive usage of computers can be now addressed as part of the library system.

The library system also interfaces with an external relational database which stores information about the library users (students, faculty, and staff), including whether they have any library items checked out. . Library users can access the catalog and recall books and periodicals. Library employees have the same access as well as additional capabilities (e.g., listing the status of an item). (Note: the library catalog is part of the library computer system.)

Simplified Use Case Examples – note that use case elaborations include exception/error handling
Use Case for Employee Logon
1. Employee initiates use case by entering user name
2. System prompts for password
3. If password is valid, employee is logged on and now has access to employee commands
Use Case for Check out book:
1. Employee initiates use case when the library user presents a book at the counter
2. Employee enters the user's ID number
3. The system verifies the ID by checking the Users' Database
4. If the ID# is valid and the user has no overdue books or periodicals, the employee continues:
5. The book's bar code is read with the bar

As Prof, Yonker stated in her PowerPoint that “Creating and implementing the right database system, ensures that the database will support business activities and goals, capabilities and types of database systems that vary. The growth of information and knowledge has impacted public libraries in many ways. The functions of a library are to collect, process, disseminates, store and retrieve information to offer better services to patrons. This makes the role of libraries change to provide the competitive advantage for its users. A Library success depends upon the ability to provide and utilize knowledge and information to the staff tp better serve the needs of the community.

Another form of digital media that can prove to be useful tool for many different people is a form called online databases. An online line database can be defined as a searchable collection of information. Each database can contain thousands of articles which can be searched for quickly and easily.

Firstly, advancing of internet lead to convenient for students to receive informations which are able to influence students’ idea or view more directly. By giving lecture to impart knowledge, teachers’ forms of teaching are always monotonous for students to receive, although they can use projectors or hold some activities in class. By contrast, on the internet, informations appear as not only the forms of documents or articles, but also forms of audio, movies, cartons, computer games, pictures and motion graph. With multitude types of forms, students tend to choose the best way for themselves to understand and remember. Nowadays, it is impossible for us to live without internet, which means internet has already been full of the world, so that it is now affecting every people

The result of the study further pushes the notion of how important it is for school staff to understand the given technology so they can distribute the information effectively to their students. All the technology in the world will be ineffective if the teachers themselves are not passionate of their work. “Technology has the potential to transform the learning environment from passive to active and more subject to the control of the learner.” (qtd. In Lavin, Korte, Davies).
In universities, computers are being used for preparing lectures, presenting to the class, accessing and analyzing numerous data available online, maintaining database of students, employees and professors, making communication in the form of e-mails or chat, browsing the Internet for necessary information and to introduce oneself with the reality and veracity of the global job market to have the competitive edge over

This article attempts to enlighten educators to allow computers in the classroom as a workshop to help improve literacy. The computer allows for students to have both a visual and a verbal reference to a topic, thus, solidifying a concrete comprehension of the text, allowing the student to be further engaged and stimulated with the assignment. Over the years, educators have seen such a vast change in technology, especially in the classroom. It is time now, that educators embrace the change and use it to their advantage. “If students can be motivated and engaged when using technology, teachers should continue to support this type of learning when appropriate.”
Abstract-The Library management system is the application software that is developed to make a record of Book purchasing, book searching, book issuing and rent, book returned, catalogs, stock creation, all other fine books, popular and bestsellers and other Library related works. The aim of the project is to make the manual handling of Library system into computerized system which includes all above features. The scope of this software application is to generate the automatic process of manual handling of Library records and to handle the stock as well as book issues related information. Maintaining records of application for estates, the annual system is too complex & cumbersome. Since time and resources available we have been proposed to developed an inventory system
It cannot be neglected that we are living today a big technological and information revolution. It is creating tools that promise assistance in the intellectual dimensions of our lives. While the technologies of the industrial revolution were at times misused and misapplied, so, too, the technologies of the computer-generation must find their appropriate place within our communities and our schools and high schools. In addition, we live in a changing context of new products and capabilities. Consideration of technology in the educational context must be approached with some clear priorities. It is essential to give priority to the nature of teaching and learning and to

The ICT subjects was introduced in secondary schools early 2000’s with poor methodologies. It was that time I was in secondary schools so I saw and even experienced how the mode of computer skills delivery was. The word ‘computer’ itself was a bit knew to most students thou I was very good in mathematics. Shortage of instructors and teaching tools was a big issue. Most young generation fails to express themselves in terms of their future vision because they are blind to the rapid innovations in computer technology.
