Coral Shores Community College is a small college with two campuses: Shoreline Campus and

Shorecove Campus. Coral Shore Community College’s Library has approximately 3,000

members, 10,000 titles, and 30, 500 volumes. About 10% of the volumes are out on loan at any

one time. The librarians ensure that the books that members wish to borrow are available when

they want them. The librarians must also know the number of copies of each book that are in the

library or out on loan at any given time. A catalogue of books is available online which lists

books by author, title, and subject area. For each title in the library, a book description is kept in

the catalogue that ranges from one sentence to several pages. The reference librarians wish to be

able to access this description when members request information about a book. The library staff

includes one (1) Head Librarian, two (2) Assistant Librarians, two (2) Reference Librarians,

three (3) Check-Out Staff, and four (4) Library Assistants.

Books may be checked out for seven (7) working days. Members are only allowed to have three

(3) books out at a time. Members usually return books within three to four weeks. Most members

know that they have a three (3) working days grace period before a notice is sent to them, so they

try to return books before the grace period ends. About 5% of members have to be sent

reminders to return books. Most overdue books are returned within thirty (30) working days of

the due date. Approximately 5% of the overdue books are either kept or never returned.

Members who borrow books at least ten times during the year are classified as the most active

members of the library. The top 1% of membership does 15% of the borrowing, and the top 10%

of the membership does 40% of the borrowing. About 20% of the members are totally inactive in

that they are members who never borrow.

To become a member of the library, applicants fill out a form including the following:

• Student ID# / Staff ID#

• Campus

• Mailing Address

• Phone Number(s)

The librarians issue a numbered, machine- readable card with the member’s photo on it. This

card is good for four (4) years. A month before a card expires, a notice is sent to a member for

renewal via mail. Lecturers at the college are considered automatic members. When a new

academic member joins the college, his or her information is pulled from the employee records.

Library cards are mailed to lecturer’s address while students collect theirs form the library when

they are ready. Processing usually takes one (1) week. Lecturers can check out books for three-

month intervals and have a two-week grace period. Renewal notices to lecturers are sent to their

mailing address. The library does not lend some books, such as reference books, rare books, and

maps. The librarians must differentiate between books that can be lent and those that cannot. In

addition to this, the librarians have a list of books they are interested in acquiring but cannot

obtain, such as rare or out-of-print books and books that were lost or destroyed and have not

been replaced. The librarians must have a system that keeps track of books that cannot be lent as

well as books that they are interested in acquiring. Some books may have the same title

therefore, the title cannot be used as a means of identification. Every book is identified by its

International Standard Book Number (ISBN), a unique international code assigned to all books.

Two books with the same title can have different ISBNs if they are in different languages or have

different bindings (hardcover or softcover). Editions of the same book have different ISBNs.

You have been asked to design a proposed database system which will be a web-based version of

what the college has now. Each user must be required to log in or register online to use this

database.

Your database must keep track of the members, sending out membership renewal reminders

via email, the books, the catalogue, and the borrowing activity. Members must be able to

reserve books online. Your database should have records for no less than five (5) members

and at least one member should have a renewal reminder sent to them via e-mail.
