The Library Information System aimed to answer the problem brought about by the existing manual recording of students and also faculty in daily log-in in using the library, and also to terminate the traditional way of finding the appropriate books in different book shelved. Because of this old way process in using the library resulting to the students wasting long time to find books, and dishonesty in the side of students in filling-up the
