Maplewood Public Library is located in a small but growing rural community that is rapidly becoming suburban as more people move into the area. The influx of library patrons has stretched this small library's information system to its limits. The current system is computerized, but it was not designed to handle the workload that is now required. As librarians log books in

and out of the system, it is not unusual for the information system to hang. Patron requests for holds or interlibrary loans still are done at the circulation desk.

You are an experienced systems analyst and have been appointed as project manager for the project.
