e-Library for Polytechnic College |
Detailed Description
|
The project is a web-based system which will be used
by the Malawi Polytechnic students. It will facilitate services
like on-line searching of library materials (currently on
books), on-line booking of books and also reading e-books.
There are three user groups within the project. The Administrator
who has the overall user right s over the e-library. The
administrator will be able to create book categories, add,
edit and delete books from the library and also add/enrol
new users to the library database. The librarian who is
not much different from the administrator, will not be able
to register users to the library but will be responsible
for checking who has reserved what book, checking out and
checking in borrowed materials, and printing reports towards
that. Lastly its the ordinary user (who in this case mostly
will be students) will have access to searching facilities,
making on-line book reservation and having access to on-line
reading materials. |
