Automated-Library-Management-System
The Automated Library Management System (IoT) is designed to revolutionize how libraries function. Its primary goal is to replace manual processes with an innovative, automated solution that enhances the library experience for both students and staff. The project focuses on automation, user-friendliness, and scalability as its core requirements.
Raspberry Pi Based Automated Library Management System đđ§
In the modern educational landscape, libraries play a pivotal role in the learning process. However, traditional library management methods have proven to be inefficient and are often fraught with challenges. To address these issues, we embarked on a mission to create a more efficient, automated, and secure library management system using Raspberry Pi. đ
