Aplikasi Perpustakaan Berbasis Web dengan Mengimplementasikan Metode Sequential Search

Abstract

Along with the development of information technology, conventional libraries cannot be completely replaced even though their visitors are decreasing from time to time because people prefer to read Electronic Books (E-Books) which can be obtained easily via the internet. The purpose of this research is to improve community services by creating a web-based library application using the PHP programming language which can be used to assist book searches by implementing the Sequential Search method. The implementation of the Sequential Search method in the library application is used to search for book data based on the book code, ISBN, book title, author and publisher which is an array of data (1 dimension). Also, the administrators can easily manage all required data by searching using the Sequential Search method on all modules in the library application. Search results using Sequential Search method can accurately display the data book according to the keywords entered. The application will search according to a predetermined array index sequence, namely book code, ISBN, book title, author and publisher. The test results using the Blackbox Testing method indicate the library application is feasible to be implemented because of the 9 tested scenarios, all of them are successful and meet the expected outcomes.
