The document outlines a book recommendation system that enhances a previous system, allowing users to manage books and receive tailored recommendations. Key new features include the 'list related books' function for easier book discovery and a 'register lab books in a lump' function to simplify bulk book registrations. Future improvements aim to expand sorting options and increase category limits for books.

3. Introduction:
What’s Book Management System
• The "Book Recommenda@on System (BRS)" has been
extended from the previous system developed by previous
students. The previous system is called "Book Managements
and Recommenda@on System (BMRS)".
• In BMRS, user can manage many books in lab or library on
web. In addi@on, this system has Recommenda@on Model
(RM). The examples of RM are review func@on and order
sheet. I will explain the detail of RM at the next slide.

4. Introduction:
Recommendation Model
When a user wants to put a new book to the lab, a user can
register the book as recommended book.
• In review func@on, user can write review (= a reason of
recommenda@on and review point) about the registered
book.
• Then order sheet is used when user hands in the sheet to lab’s
professor. Order sheet is created by all review of a book. The
professor can decide whether to buy the book by checking
order sheet.

5. Introduction: Purpose
• A purpose of this study is to de develop new RM. It becomes
easy for user to find suitable book from among numbers of
books. I call the new RM “List Related book func@on”.
• In this func@on, it makes possible to sort the book data
records by various elements. For example, the system sorts by
date of publica@on, or total customer review point, recent
access etc... By using the func@on, the system supports user
to find suitable books easily.

6. Introduction: Purpose
• Other purpose is to improve some parts which will be difficult
for user to use. For example, in previous system, user needs
to manually input book’s ISBN to input box or read book’s bar
code when user registers new books to lab book database.
But in the system, user must concurrently input data and click
register bu[on because user can only register maximum 10
books at once.
• For solving this problem, I planned to develop “Register lab
books in a lump” func@on. In the func@on, user doesn’t need
to input ISBN to input box. Instead of input of ISBN, user can
register new books in a lump by subming the file which is
concluded ISBN informa@on.

7. New function(1)
List Related Books
• “List Related books”
func@on supports user to
find suitable books easily.
• ①This book is the book
which selected in “Search
Lab Book” view.
• ②All books of this book
list are similar to selected
book(=①). There are @tle,
book image, review point .
• ③User can select the way
of sor@ng in this part. But
there is only a sor@ng by
the customer review point.

8. New function(2)
Register lab books in a lump
• In the “Register lab books in a lump” func@on, user can
register new books in a lump by subming the file which
is concluded ISBN informa@on to the system.
8

9. Conclustion
• The proposed system has added func@ons such as List related
books func@on, Register lab books in a lump func@on.
• It became easy for user to find suitable books by using List
related books func@on.
• And user can register in a lump by using “Register lab book in
a lump ” func@on when user wants to register many new
books to lab book list.
9

10. Future Works
• But this system is s@ll in progress and needs the following
improvements
• The way of sor@ng is very few in Related books func@on. For
example, I wanted to develop the way of sor@ng by recent access,
contents of review.
• Registra@on of the book category without limit on the number of
categories. The number of categories for one book is currently
fixed at three. But one book may belong to more categories.
