Best Answer

A library user is a person who uses the library. A library user doesn't necessarily have to have a membership with the library; even if they do not borrow books, they can still be regarded as a "library user" if they use the library for other purposes (such as studying, reading books within the library, using the computers, or consulting reference materials).

Scope Limitations of a library system?

Define the possible scope of the public library system. A single library location that allows a registered library user (card holder) to browse through books, periodicals, and misc multimedia. It would be able rent out those items to the user as well as collect outstanding items from the user. Simple set of important features: 1) Ability to sign up for a library card (register) 2) Loan out a book 3) Inventory a book 4) Notify a user that a book is overdue. A more narrow scope based on the features above. (Level 1 decomposition) A library system would have a: 1) Register a user subsystem - Collect User information from user, create an account, issue a card. 2) Loan out a book subsystem - Determine if the book is in stock, determine if the book is on hold, determine if the book is meant to be checked out, set book/item to a "rented" status. 3) Inventory a book subsystem - Get book from user, set book/items status to "available" 4) Notify user book is overdue subsystem - Check if all books are accounted, issue overdue notice, look up users information, send notice to user. The two techniques that can be employed in such a system is decomposition (breaking down a system into its smaller subsystems like we just did) and loose coupling (one subystem is not dependent on another one to function) To get the idea of a multi-layer architecture, use the idea of decomposition. The further you break a system down into its parts, the deeper in the layers you go.

Is it possible to call library function recursively?

There are 2 types of library functions.One system defined & another user defined.In system defined functions we can not determine whether a library function is recursive or not.It may or may not be recursive.But in user defined library functions for example factorial() can be made recursive.No matters whether it is a library function.So if you understand recursion properly then this question makes no sense.

How can the librarian know who needs a library card?

There is a common misconception that librarians have the ability to read minds, but - unfortunately - this isn't true. Thus, a librarian needs to use other skills to determine who needs a library card. Signs that someone needs a library card may include the following situations:The user may approach the service/reference desk and/or a member of the library staff, and inquire about getting a card (because they don't have one).The user may approach the service/reference desk and/or a member of the library staff, and ask about how they can go about borrowing an item, or how to log onto the computers. Upon being asked, the user indicates they do not have a library card.
