Digitalizando o saber: desenvolvimento de uma plataforma de gestão de biblioteca para o Colégio Estadual Papa Paulo VI

Abstract

Library management systems are tools that optimize operations such as book loans, reservations, and searches, contributing to the efficiency and organization of institutions. This Final Course Project aimed to develop a desktop library management application for Colégio Estadual Papa Paulo VI, located in Nova América da Colina, Paraná. The application includes functionalities such as book registration, student and staff registration, book reservation, and report generation. This development was achieved based on prior planning, which included theoretical and technical research, definition of functional and non-functional requirements, application modeling, and prototype design. The system was developed to modernize the process of managing the library collection at Colégio Papa Paulo VI, and is justified by its ease of use and the fact that it incurs no cost for acquisition. The project used the Kanban management method, as well as the Python programming language and its Tkinter and Custom Tkinter libraries, ensuring the system's security, ease of understanding, and an intuitive and efficient interface. The system will be distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY NC SA 4.0) license, allowing its use by other schools if they so wish.
