Algorithmic Relational Design Model For Online Library Information Retrieval System

Abstract- Institutional library is a major infrastructure in any institution of learning. The quality of professionals produced in our institutions to a greater extent depends on the access of staff and students to foundational fundamental and current literatures. In most institution of learning today more money are being pumped in the school learning but less patron attend the institution libraries. This is due to the fact local and regional library are not accessible online to the target audience. There is therefore a need to harmonise the institutions library collections and the digital resource of local and regional libraries in order to make the collections visible to the local and global patrons. This can be achieved by developing and implementation of an efficient web enable application base on a methodical mathematical relational model as an engine to access these materials. In this paper the basic operations of library system was explored and a mathematical relational model is proposed for information capture patrons tracking circulation operations and information retrieval systems thus An web enabled application was developed to test the efficiency of every facet of the model. The system was designed to offer accessibilities to other institutions libraries globally and vice versa based on mutual understanding. The proposed system offers a dynamics to information retrieval system in that is diverges from retrieval system from a particular application point of view as obtained in many other models. It ensures optimal operations of the library services.
