System and Problem for a Library Management System .docxmattinsonjanel
System and Problem
for a
Library Management System
Smallsville, USA
Our public library in Smallsville is in need of a computer system to
help keep track of who checks books in and out, as well as to keep
track of fines and print reports for us. We have been making out fine
for years recording the information by hand, but Sally and Mary just
don’t have the handwriting they used to, especially at 72 and 81,
respectively. Our new librarian, Marcus, is young and energetic, and
just doesn’t have the patience to keep handwritten records. As head
librarian he wants to be able to do more for our community than just
keep track of books, so he wants to be able to mail out notices of
special events and the like.
Therefore, he has made note of the items he thinks need to be
included in this system. Keep in mind that he knows very little about
computers, so he has probably left some things out. Please feel free
to make any additions or corrections that you feel are absolutely
necessary. Also bear in mind that we are a small town, and do not
have an unlimited budget for such a system or the training required
to use it. A single PC should suffice for our needs right now, but we
might want to grow to two or three, connected together, in a couple
of years.
Here are the main items that are needed:
a. Add a new library patron and be able to edit their basic
information
b. Remove a patron. Ensure that the patron has no books borrowed
and no unpaid fines before deleting them. Provide notice
appropriately.
c. Print a list of all patrons (in some sensible order).
d. Print a list of all patrons with outstanding fines.
e. Add a new book to the catalog. Be able to edit basic book info.
f. Remove a book from the catalog. Ensure no one has it borrowed.
Notify appropriately and do not delete if out.
g. Record a book as lost.
h. Record that a particular patron is borrowing a particular book.
i. Record that someone has returned a particular book. Report any
fines owing and update patron account.
j. Record that a patron has paid some money toward his or her
outstanding fines.
k. Print all overdue books, and who has them.
l. Print address mailing labels
Do not attempt to provide card catalog services for allowing patrons
to search for books, although we may want to expand the system
later to include this capability with multiple stations. You may
assume each book has a unique acquisition number, and you may
use these numbers to refer to books borrowed and returned. For
each book, record acquisition number, title, author and any other
information you need to process the above commands.
For patrons include name, complete address, a unique ID number,
phone number, email and any other info you need to complete the
tasks
In the future we may also engage in inter-library loans with
neighboring cities, and would like to consider self-check stations in
the future since we have a ra ...

Writing Exercise Interview SummarySynthesis For this assig.docxericbrooks84875
Writing Exercise: Interview Summary/Synthesis
For this assignment, you will submit only the FINAL copy as there is no DRAFT option. This assignment is
designed to help inform a topic that interests you, and the information you gather here will be used in
your Proposal Letter assignment.
For this assignment, you should be interviewing a person who has expertise about a topic
you are interested in. Please note that you should be conducting the actual interview; you
should not be summarizing an interview conducted by someone else.
Part #1: Choose a Research Topic and an Interviewee
You do not need to submit this portion in writing, but you do need to accomplish this in
preparation for your research assignment.
In preparation for your research proposal letter in the next topic, you will need to choose a
topic for your proposal. This research proposal letter will be directed to an audience who can
create change (Congressperson, business administrator, or other similar audience.) In the
proposal, you need to suggest a change or a solution to a current problem. Examples of
strong proposal topics would be things like funding ideas for an animal shelter, starting a
recycling program in a community, suggesting a better plan for public transport, or another
idea that interests you. You will be proposing solutions for these issues. Choose a topic that
you are passionate about and for which you will be able to develop at least one solution.
While this information should be enough for you to choose a topic, please consult the
assignment sheet within Topic 7 if you have more questions about this assignment.
Once you choose a topic, it’s time to choose a credible expert to interview on that subject. In
other words, you should avoid choosing an interviewee who is a close friend or family
member unless that person truly is an expert in the field. This credible expert should have
10+ years of experience in his or her discipline. Choose an interviewee who not only could
offer some specific details about the problem but one who may also be able to offer
suggestions of a plausible solution. Use the information contained in the lesson presentation
to secure and conduct a successful interview.
Part #2: Summarize and Synthesize Your Interview
When you summarize and synthesize, you take the smaller pieces (the sections of the
interview) and develop them into one cohesive piece. Doing this exercise will help you
prepare for the research proposal letter, where you will need to incorporate at least a few
ideas from the interview.
To successfully summarize and synthesize, you might find it helpful to follow this sequence
for your essay:
Provide Background Information:
In your introductory paragraph, introduce your audience to your interviewee. What is his/her
name? What is his/her experience? If relevant, where is the interviewee employed?
Summarize the Interview:
While you want to avoid the all-too-predictable ques.

Multigenre Project
EN101O Fall 2019 Dr. Walter
A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:
A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work towards a claim you are making about the topic.
A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the bo.

COM 510 Final Project One Research Paper Guidelines and Rub.docxmonicafrancis71118
COM 510 Final Project One: Research Paper Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The first summative assessment for this course is preparation of a six-page research paper that will demonstrate your media literacy skills. These skills are
arguably more important in today’s new media environment than any previous point in history. As we navigate our complex new media environment, we all need
the skills to make sense of the messages we receive, the ability to understand how messages are constructed, and be able to see how the meanings within
messages can potentially influence content consumers. Development of the paper is supported by two milestones, which will be submitted in Modules Two and
Three.
This assessment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcome:
Demonstrate advanced media literacy skills by researching, verifying, and effectively applying relevant, credible sources of information
Prompt
In this paper you will deconstruct a media message of your choosing. This means you will closely examine an audio-, video-, or text-based news story of your
choice. Note: It must be accessible online by your instructor (For example, a Huffington Post or New York Times article or CNN.com video). Through this process,
you will seek to understand who created the message, who is the intended receiver, how the content was created, what values or biases are present in the
content, and what hidden meanings might be present. You will complete original research and find a minimum of three sources to support your interpretations
and arguments discussed in the following critical elements.
You can fulfill the research requirement for the paper in several ways. One option is to find scholarly resources that support a claim you make in the paper. For
example, you might argue that the author is biased. You could then include research about bias in news reporting. Another option is to research different
persuasive tools beyond those provided in your class readings and use those sources to fulfill your research requirement. Another option is to research more
information on media literacy to include in your discussion. Whichever way you decided to incorporate research is up to you; however, you must use credible
academic sources (click here for more information on identifying academic sources) and use proper APA formatting style. Refer to your APA Publication Manual
for more information about these elements.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed in the research paper:
1. Introduction: Provide an introduction to your paper, specifically:
1.1. Provide an overview of the story you selected and indicate what type of medium is used to tell the story (video, audio, words). Answer the question,
“What is here?”
1.2. Include a link to the news article you selected and describe the source of the story. Specifically, who created it?

Research Paper Using Word This assignment has two goals.docxaudeleypearl
Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students, via research, increase their understanding of impacts of information
technology on current world issues, and 2) learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research
paper, including use of available References and citation tools. These skills will be valuable throughout a student’s
academic career.
The paper will require a title page, NO abstract, three to five full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3
external resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and similar general information
sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the
paper may be in the form of a direct citation from an external source. Choose your topic from the list of topics that follow
these organization steps.
Paper organization
Open Word and save a blank document with the following name:
“Student’s LastNameFirstInitial Research Paper”
The paper should be organized in the following way:
1. Title page:
a. Center in the middle of the page (horizontally and vertically) the title (subject) of the paper and below that

it is recommended that you use the References feature in Word for your citations and Reference List or refer
to the "Citing and Writing" option under the Resources/Library/Get Help area in the LEO classroom. It is
important to review the final format for APA-style correctness even if generated by Word.
e. Include at least two (2) informational footnotes. Footnotes are not used to list a reference! Footnotes contain
information about the topic to which the footnote has been attached.
f. Place the references on a separate page following the body of the paper. Note: Use a hard return (CTRL
Enter) after the end of your paper body and the start of the References page.

Revision Narrative Assignment Sheet and Rubric
After feedback has been received from your peer group and course instructor, you are
responsible for making appropriate changes and reflecting upon these changes from initial draft to
final submitted draft. This assignment is reflective in nature and you are not expected to quote
assigned reading or course content. Instead, think about the assignment holistically and trace
your drafting stages from beginning to final product.
Our personal identities and experiences affect how we view ourselves as writers, and we need a
certain level of self-awareness as writers in order to recognize the power and control we have to
guide how we compose texts. This Revision Narrative Worksheet should help you approach two
outcomes: demonstrating motivated decision-making and revision throughout an ongoing process
of composition and articulating connections between one’s identity and experiences and the
rhetorical choices one makes. As you answer the questions on this worksheet, narrate how your
awareness and decisions changed across the revision process for this project. Notes:
• Be as specific as possible about the realizations and decisions you narrate, but don’t feel
like you have to include every little thing you realized or did.
• The “work on your own” category is where you can describe steps you took to revise
beyond the required steps I ask you to complete. It could include additional exercises you
did on your own outside of class, visits to academic resource centers, things you applied
based on any readings, feedback you solicited from someone outside of class, etc. Either
replace the “work on your own” box with a description of what you did or delete those rows
if you’re not using them.
• To successfully complete this Revision Narrative worksheet, your answers should do the
following:
o demonstrate the use of a variety of revision strategies
o articulate the potential influence or consequences of one’s identity and experiences
as the composer
o reflect on the affective experiences of the composition process
You do not need to integrate all of the suggested changes, but goal of this assignment is to get
you thinking about the writing process at large and consider the steps you take when you revise
your own composition. To receive full credit, review the assignment rubric below and complete the
following revision narrative outline.

You will be creating a multigenre composition project that represents your insights and new understandings from your inquiry around your primary research question you have developed on your self-selected topic.
This composition, which will incorporate the elements outlined in this document, can be composed in one of two ways:
1. A Microsoft Word document that will be converted to a PDF document and uploaded to Ms. Rust’s dropbox; we will also publish these on our project LibGuide.
2. Compose your “composition” in a virtual format (Wikispaces, Weebly, Wordpress, Google Docs) and share the link with us via Ms. Rust’s dropbox; we will link to virtually published projects from our project LibGuide as well.
Whichever format you choose, the basic requirements and guidelines will be the same.

3. 3 Multigenre Project Composition Guidelines and Requirements
Aesthetics, Appeal, and Source Attribution
Your work should utilize a clean and easy to read color/design scheme and if virtual, navigation scheme.
All sections should be labeled clearly and appropriately (example: Multigenre Element Three: Two Voice Poem)
All work should be free of spelling and grammatical errors and follow all conventions of standard American English.
All images used as part of the project should be original work by you OR Creative Commons licensed content with attribution (Ms. Hamilton and Ms. Lund will assist you with this requirement).
If you are publishing as a Word/PDF document, you will need a running footer with pagination (Ms. Hamilton and Ms. Lund can assist you with this skill).
All paraphrased/summarized and directly quoted content should be attributed with the appropriate use of MLA style in-text parenthetical references; Ms. Rust, Ms. Hamilton, and Ms. Lund will assist you with this expectation). These parenthetical references will be incorporated into your notes (more on the “notes” section later in this document) for each multigenre product/artifact. Additionally, when applicable for multimedia created content, we will assist you in incorporating attribution into those products.
Each project will include a final Works Cited page; you must use at least five sources in this project. At least one source must be a scholarly database (see our LibGuides tab). Each source, of course, must be used at least once in the project content. We will import the Works Cited page from EasyBib. Ms. Hamilton and Ms. Lund will do a preliminary check of your Works Cited page to make sure all sources have been created or exported to your list correctly.
Notes for Multigenre Products
You will create a paragraph of 5-8 sentences for each multigenre product; these paragraphs are called “Notes.” Notes should explain:
1. What the genre product represents about your understanding and key ideas/concepts/answers to your research questions . Think of these pieces as concrete details.
2. Why you chose this medium and how it conveys your big ideas. Think of this aspect of your notes as commentary.
3. Incorporate MLA style parenthetical in-text references into the body of the paragraph when referencing information (whether paraphrased or directly quoted) you’ve learned through your research/inquiry.
4. 4 Multigenre Project Composition Guidelines and Requirements
Dear Reader Letter/Essay to Your Audience
This piece will be the introduction to your project work, but it will most likely be one of the last components you complete since it calls for reflection on your overall work and learning experiences.
This introductory essay or “letter” serves as a guide for the reader. It provides the reader with some idea as to how to read the paper and the information they ought to know before reading the paper.
This letter is written in a letter-form with a salutation addressed to “Dear Reader.”
If you are struggling with what to write, partner with someone and give them the highlights of the information you are supplying and the attitude your are striving to establish. Have your partner say back what they understood and ask questions that naturally arise in their mind. From their response, write a “letter” to the reader filling in the blanks they pointed out.
Structuring the Dear Reader Letter/Essay
Your composition will be multiple paragraphs, and you should include MLA style parenthetical style in-text references/documentation any time you reference summarized, paraphrased, or directly quoted information. Please incorporate concrete details and commentaries when drafting your paragraphs.
What did you know about your topic before your research began? What questions did you want to investigate and what did you want to learn? Why were you interested in this topic?
What are the highlights and key understandings that you have learned? You will want to think about this in terms of your primary research questions and organize accordingly.
Why does your topic matter? Why should someone care about your topic?
What learning standards did you choose as your personal learning targets, and how have you demonstrated improvement and/or mastery? Be sure to cite specific evidence of your work over the last few weeks.
What do you feel you have learned from this process and what did you do well? What questions still remain for you, and/or what you want to do better? What does your project say about you as a learner and as a researcher?
Your letter and essay should use a standard letter salutation (“Dear Reader”) and closing (“Sincerely”, “Yours Truly”, “With gratitude”, etc.) Your composition should reflect appropriate usage of standard American English and be free of major and minor grammatical errors.
We will provide a sample letter for you to view in class for inspiration.
5. 5 Multigenre Project Composition Guidelines and Requirements
Appendix: Mindmapping Processes
Ms. Hamilton will provide you a photo of your mindmap to embed in this part of your multigenre composition. We would like you to compose a short paragraph (6-8 sentences) that:
Describes your mindmapping process (how you went about creating it)
Explains what ideas, concepts, or themes that became clearer for you through the mindmapping process
Identifies gaps or patterns you noticed in your mindmapping process.
Share how mindmapping process helped you narrow your focus or “crop” your topic (look back at your mindmap interview notes from Monday, 10/20 to help you composed this piece).
