Project: Library Loans

The clients of Library Loans Ltd. are public and university libraries all over the world. Feedback from clients is that they have a high incidence of late returns of library book loans. Some books are never returned.

We have decided to invest in this project because our market research indicates that the new functionality will be taken up by a majority of our customers. Also potential new customers will be influenced to buy our software rather than that of our competitors.

The changes to the software will help the libraries to minimize the late/non return of library loans. This project will produce a new version of our existing Library Management product.
