Assessment 1 Modelling Report: Case Studyr Globe
Assessment 1 Modelling Report: Case Studyr Globe library is a small community library in one of the northern suburbs of Adelaide. In the recent years, its collection of books and the number of registered users have increased significantly facing difficulties in manually handling its main functions efficiently. To improve its services, the senior management of the library has considered a computerized library management system. The library has a rich collection of books with different genres such as fiction, biography, and history to name a few. The main functions considered for computerizing include searching of book collection based on author name, book title and genre. For this, the system should allow common functions including add, delete and modification of book details. Similarly, the library also wants to keep records of all the transactions book issue and return. Finally, the system should allow the library staff to view all transactions and associated borrowers (library members) for each transaction, transaction date and the library staff who handled each transaction. The library also has meeting rooms and smaller conference rooms suitable for meetings, training and workshops which are available for advanced booking from the library portal on hourly rates. The current rate for a meeting room is AUS$10 per hour and AUS$25 per hour for a conference room. In addition to these, the following are some of the requirements you identified through the requirements eliciting phase: 1. Any library member should be able to search books by their title, author, and subject category as well the publication date. 2. Each book will have a unique identification number and other details including a rack number which will help to physically locate the book. 3. There could be more than one copy of a book, and library members should be able to check- out and reserve any copy. We will call each copy of a book, a book item. 4. The system should be able to retrieve information like who took a particular book or what are the books checked-out by a specific library member. 5. There should be a maximum limit (10 days) on how long a member can keep a book
