A research and analysis on the current system and searching technique was done to get better understanding of the system. The water fall methodology was used in this project development implements iterative development which is suitable for standalone applications requirements that changes from time to time. The programming tools used in the design of the system includes programming languages; PHP, HTML, Cascading style sheets for styling the web pages and JavaScript as a scripting language for the front end. The back end of the system was designed using MYSQL as the database. The system was tested by the administrator and proved more efficient than the system that existed. Testing is done every phase of the development life cycle to make sure that the system working properly As a final result, this system was completed, installed on a computer hence fulfilling all the research objectives.
