The system was intended to address the current problems experienced in Narok county libraries, with an emphasis on Maasai Mara University library which has not fully automated its services. Library Book Management System is an online application that was developed and designed with the sole objective of automating library services. Information systems have proved to be effective in implementing the business processes of most organizations and institutions across the globe. A majority of business solutions are automated to meet the changing needs of the end users. The advent of diverse information technology systems has revolutionized the way of doing things. This system will assist the student of the department regarding information (on the courses, levels, assignment, grades and news/events update) and provides a simple interface for the maintenance of the students’ information to be used by the department to maintain the records and details of each student easily. It maintains all information of the department in a centralized database and allows each Staff to view relevant information from anywhere at any time. It is an affordable solution that gives the department more values as the system caters to the need of the department which includes: admission, online result, inquiry etc. The Departmental Portal is a web based system that deals on registration of student, generating blacklist for student, generating quick result for each student, provides upload and download of course material and allocation of departmental courses. The use of PHP and MySQL were involved for the developmental process. This project report is about developing a Departmental Portal which aim at creating a system whereby common educational challenges can be tackled without much stress from the students or staffs. Therefore, the need to provide and maintain high quality of teaching and learning services are very important to maintain. In recent years, courses development is springing up like mushrooms.

ABSTRACT Education is very important in this century, especially higher education.
