Smart Library Management System

The Smart Library Management System is a web-based application built on the ServiceNow low-code platform to automate and simplify library management activities — book records, member management, book issue/return tracking, fine calculation, and reporting.

⚠️ This repository is actively connected to a ServiceNow instance via Source Control. The files at the repository root (sys_remote_update_set_*.xml, sn_source_control.properties, and the hash-named application folder) are auto-managed by ServiceNow — they update automatically every time an update set is committed in Studio. Do not manually edit, move, or delete them.
