You have been hired to lead a software project to design a Library Management System (LMS) for your local library at Jonesville. The library has been managed manually using written documentation to track books. Given the growth of Jonesville population, a software system to better manage the library is now needed. Your project submission should include the following (all in one document):

  • A title page
  •   
  • A business letter addressed to the board of the Jonesville Library introducing the contents of the document
  •   
  • A feasibility summary that includes the following:    
    • A description of the Jonesville Library business
    •       
    • A description of the current system
    •       
    • A summary of the problems faced by the library
    •       
    • A summary of the system you propose to solve the problems including the hardware and software requirements
    •       
    • The estimated costs and timeframe for the system to be designed and implemented

The report should be a minimum of 2–3 pages in length (excluding the title page and business letter) and neatly formatted.

Janice was interested in learning about caffeine consumption and academic performance in college. In particular, she wanted to know if drinking caffeine immediately before a test had any impact on test scores. Janice predicted that those who consumed caffeinated coffee immediately before a test would earn higher scores than those who did not drink caffeinated coffee before a test. In her study, Janice specified that caffeine would be in the form of a 6-ounce cup of caffeinated Maxwell House coffee and that test scores would be for exams only, (not quizzes) given in "Introduction to Psychology" courses. To test this, Janice obtained consent from all participating students in several Intro to Psychology classes, (175 students total). Janice then instructed the participating students to remain caffeine free on the morning of their next exam. On exam day, she waited outside of the classroom. As students approached the door, Janice asked them to take a folded slip of paper out of a bag. When opened, if the paper had a letter "C" on it, that person was given a 6oz cup of caffeinated Maxwell House coffee to drink before entering the classroom. If the slip of paper was blank, the student was not given any of the coffee. All students in the coffee drinking group were handed a copy of the exam with a "C" on it (for coffee). Those who did not drink the coffee were handed an exam with the letters "NC" (for no coffee). Janice collected the data and analyzed the results using different statistical tests. Her statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in test scores between the two groups. 1. Based on the above, what was Janice's research hypothesis? (Don't confuse this with her research question)! 2. From the list below, identify which variables Janice operationalized, and the operational definitions she specifically used for those variables. A. Either highlight the letter of the correct answer in the list below, OR Just type the letter of the correct answer right below the list of answer choices. Janice operationalized Test Scores: She operationally defined test scores as being for "exams only, (not quizzes) given in an introduction to psychology course." B. Janice operationalized Caffeine: She operationally defined caffeine in this study as being "any type of stimulant beverage, including but not limited to coffee." C. Janice operationalized Caffeine: She operationally defined caffeine in this study as being "in the form of a 6-ounce cup of caffeinated Maxwell House coffee." E. Choices A and C are correct F. Choices A and B are correct G. None of these: Janice did not "operationalize" any variables in this particular study. 3. What was the Independent variable (IV) in this study? 4. What was the Dependent variable (DV) in this study? 5. There are 2 parts to this question. Answer both bullet points below. True or False: Generally speaking, the experimental group in any study is the group that receives a new/added or manipulated intervention or treatment. Type True or False below. In Janice's study, clearly describe her experimental group. Type answer below.
