Hi..

Topic: Unix File Management

A university wants to computerize its Library operations because of increasing volumes of books and number of users.

  • The library has various category of users, such as library staff, teachers, and students.
  • It has stock of books, journals and magazines. They are planning to add other items to the library such as software floppies, tapes and CD.
  • They would like to generate information about books available based on the book-id or title.
  • A users' list is to be maintained and updated from time to time.
  • The operations such as issues and returns have to be taken care of the system.
  • The system should also enable the library staff to issue reminders and follow them up suitably.
  • It should also be possible to handle exceptional cases such as lost books or retrieval of the books which were supposed to have been lost.
