Applying The Concepts Studied in The Chapter To The Case Study

The document summarizes a case study about automating the systems and processes at the Noida Public Library. The library system has several functional units that work together to issue books, maintain records of books and members, and generate accounts and reports. If the system was automated, the system analyst would study the current system and identify any problems. The main problems identified were maintaining membership cards, producing reports with large amounts of data, maintaining accounts, and keeping records for books and members. It would then be the analyst's responsibility to provide a solution system to the management of the library.

Applying the concepts studied in the chapter to the case study:

The first thing we studied is systems. In our case study Noida Public Library is our system. Every system is
a set of some functional units that work together to achieve some objective. The main objective of library
system is to provide books to its members without difficulty. Fig 1.4 depicts our library system pictorially.
Our system has many functional units. Books issue and return section, books record unit, members record
unit, accounts, and report generation units are the different functional units of the library. Each functional unit
has its own task. However, each of these work independently to achieve the overall objective of the library.
Later in the session, we talked about different components and characteristics of the systems. Data is an
important component of any system. Here, data is pertaining to the details of members, books, accounts,
and suppliers. Since people can interact with the system this system is an open system. The system is
mainly concerned with the management of data it is an information system.
If this system were to be automated as conceived by the management, then role of the system analyst
would be to study the system, its workings, and its existing problems. Also the analyst needs to provide a
solution to the existing problem.
Now that the management has decided for an automated system the analyst would perform the above tasks.
As the analyst did the study of the system, the following problems were identified

Maintaining membership cards

Producing reports due to large amount of data

Maintaining accounts

Keeping records for books in library and its members

Performing searches

Now that the analyst has studied the system and identified the problems, it is the responsibility of
the analyst to provide a solution system to the management of the library.
