Acadlib Tracker: Development of a Python-Based Student Gradebook, GPA Tracking, and Library Management System using Object-Oriented Programming

Managing student grades, GPA calculations, and library records in academic institutions is often done manually, leading to errors, inefficiencies, and delayed reporting. This study presents AcadLib Tracker, a Python-based system that integrates student gradebook management, GPA computation, and library management into a unified platform using object-oriented programming (OOP). The system allows teachers and administrators to input and update student grades, automatically compute GPA, monitor library book availability, and track borrowing and return activities. Developed using Python and OOP principles, with SQLite for database management and a graphical interface for ease of use, AcadLib Tracker ensures accurate record-keeping, reduces manual workload, and provides quick access to academic and library data. Functional testing demonstrated that the system successfully performs its intended operations, including grade entry, GPA calculation, library transaction management, and report generation. Overall, the system provides a reliable and user-friendly solution for academic record management and library monitoring in educational settings.
