Case Study - Library System
The librarian will access the system to issue books, record reservations, generate return requests for reserved books and record books being returned. Returning a book may involve generating an availability notification if the returned book has been reserved by another member. If an availability notification is generated then the librarian sends it out to the member. When a book is requested to be issued or requested to be reserved then the system validates details on the membership card as well as validating that the requested book is one stocked by the library. If the membership card is invalid or the library does not stock the book then the request is rejected. If a book is requested for issue but is on-loan then that book will be reserved. Members of the library can display details of books stocked. The subscriptions section deals with membership issues e.g. renewing membership cards on an annual basis etc. The purchasing section deals with adding new books to the library.
There may be multiple copies of books held in the library. When a book is borrowed the borrowing date is noted and when the book is returned the return date is noted. The details held about each reservation include who the current borrower(s) is and who has reserved the book.
When a copy of a book arrives from the suppliers, it is held in storage until its details are registered on the system. These details include the number, author and title of the book. Once registered the copy is put in the lending shelf which means that it is available to be borrowed. When a copy is returned, if the book has been reserved then the copy is held in a reservation area otherwise it is returned to the lending shelf. If a copy is reported lost by the borrower then the copy details are deleted from the system by the librarian.
