RESEARCH

The benefit of Virtual Library System:
  • easy to find the specific books
  • save time to get the exact books
  • use less work energy
  • do not need space to store the books
  • no need of librarian to rearrange the returned books
  • to prevent the books from stolen by irresponsible user.
  • if user notice that the books are located in the virtual library system, they confirm to get that books.
  • easy to detect the user that failed to return books back, and they will be on time and the
  • system will automatic block their borrowing pass card
  • borrowing system is more effective than the classic one

Why we want to replace the classic method with this system?
  • hard to find the specific books
  • hard to locate the location of the book
  • to make sure the user will get the books which is they wants.
  • to ensure lessuse of librarian's help to find the books
  • the use of electronic system

Comparison of classic system method between Vibrary:
  1. Classic system : (manual)
  • Go to main counter; meet the librarian to find code and its location.
  • Go to the location
  • Search for the specific books based on code.
  • Go back to counters for borrowing process
  • Enjoy reading

2. Virtual Library System (Vibrary)
  • Go to kiosk machine and key in the required keyword for the specific book.
  • If books are available, click confirm to borrow it.
  • Enjoy reading
The Vulnerabilities of Virtual Library System:
  • user cannot use this service if blackout/power shortage is occurred.
  • time wasting, if too many user want to use the system in one time ( during peak hours ).
  • unemployment.
  • database invasion/sabotage.
  • maintenance costs that exceed the cost of labor.
