Complete System Concept Statement Exercise

I think 'Integrated library system' is quite a great invention that made library system more efficient. Most citizens (especially students and experts) are using library to collect some information and study some specific field for exam or work. 

acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and invoicing materials)

cataloging (classifying and indexing materials)

circulation (lending materials to patrons and receiving them back.

These three functions are the main function in this system. Each book has a unique ID in the database that allows the ILS to track its activity.

Firstly,
As datas are increasing rapidly, classifying and managing books became more important. The system solve many probelms. For example, users can easily find a book with a click and know the condition of the book ,that the user want to read. Furtheremore user make a reservation if the book is already taken, and receive the book in the date.
Secondly,
The systems solved partial part of 'limit of  material'. Also there are no library that has all the information. Especially in advanced and proffesional part the problem become more  serious. However by the Integrated library system, we can hunt the book and the book delivered to near library. For example we can borrow a book ,which is in Shin-chon campus, in underwood memorial library with a click and we can recieve the book in 12 hours.

 User can feel all libraries are linked and finding books are not tough anymore. Users feel that they can handle all books and become more friendly with books.
