Jones Library Management System Upgrade Project Proposal

547 Words3 Pages

To Whom It May Concern,
Due to the increase in customers and the increase in the need to check out books. The Jones Library would like to request an upgrade in our current library management system, also due to the increase of users we are needing to purchase more computers for the users and the staff. The current computer system is out of date and does not have enough space or even the correct software to perform the daily tasks that the staff of the library needs to be able to do their job. Attached is a complete overview of what the current system in the library does and what the library management systems needs to do. Thank you for your time.
Best Regards,
Melissa Parker
Head of the Jones Library IT Dept.

(Merriam-Webster,2017) Libraries now contain computers that allow students to get online for an allotted amount of time. Libraries us library management systems (LMS)
A description of the current system:
The current library management system (LMS) consists of one outdated computer that has 20MB hard disk and a dot-matrix printer. The software on the computer is DOS-based and uses dBase IV as a back-end database. The system records checked-out books, tapes, and DVDs and provides a space for marking when the checked-out materials are returned. There are three in-house computers for users to get online or view DVDs.
The problems the library is

Griffith Observatory Did you know that people have been building observatories since the 200s B.C.? An observatory, by definition, is a place or building equipped and used for making observations of astronomical, meteorological, or other natural phenomena, especially a place equipped with a powerful telescope for observing the planets and stars. Human beings have always been interested in the idea of discovering the unknown, and discovering space is no exception. But only through the last few hundreds of years have we really been able to make advances in astronomy due to large telescopes placed in the observatories. Some of the major observatories in the world are the Mauna Kea Observatory, the Arecibo Observatory, and the Yerkes Observatory.

My collection is the adult reference section in Crozet public library in Virginia. I choose the subsection in which call numbers fall between 000-7XX, covering Dewey decimal classes: Generalities, Philosophy and Psychology, Religion, Social Science, Language, Natural Science and Mathematics, Technology (Applied Sciences), and Arts, totally about 400 titles. Crozet was used to be a small village where most residents were farmers. Since it is close to Charlottesville, a beautiful city and with low unemployment rate, and also the place where University of Virginia is located, it is attracting more and more people moving to this village, including professionals, UVA students, and retired people from northern Virginia. Crozet public library is a

This public library’s database have a lot of flaws due to the fact that it only has one large file for all transactions that occur. There is minimal information collected when a book is checked out. This will lead to problems when adding a new record, modifying an existing record, deleting a record, querying a record, and much more. If a new book is purchased and needs to be added into the database, it would be impossible because there is no field relevant for that transaction. If a patron’s address needs to be change, it is possible, but difficult.

This semester began on January 8th, and today is January 22nd. In my mind, today’s ZOOL 401 class was the last chance for something to happen before I have to submit this critical reflection on Wednesday. I have been worrying about how nothing “interesting” has happened in the class since January 8th that I could reflect on. I have not faced any particularly difficult situations or had to interfere and prevent a fight (like Bre and Dr. Stowe mentioned on the first day of CMCL 507 class) or even been asked any questions. My work thus far has consisted of walking around for about 10 minutes out of the total 50 minutes, listening to what a student group is talking about, and wanting to contribute but being unsure as to how I could engage.

With the ever expansive growth of technology many areas nationally are finding themselves increasingly unable to keep up with the ever changing minimum standards of technology. And while this may not seem like an alarming issue at first glance, the reality of the situation is that many areas are being increasingly set up for failure due to outdated technology – and it is only getting worse. Many areas within the country have limited or no access to high speed internet or broadband, and some places are still stuck on a dialup connection which became outdated in the early 2000’s. And the consequences of this reality can be extremely damaging, due to an inability to cash in on the thriving global market that e-commerce has created. One State which
