The CJ Secondary School requires a new database management system in their library to
replace their existing manual system. Accordingly, their database should store information about
the members of the library (i.e. students and staff), available books, magazines and such. The
following is a more detailed sample of the data required from the two main entities in the
system.
Library members
• Membership number
• Name
• Type (student/staff/alumni etc.)
• Membership validity
Library items (books/magazines)
• Item ID (i.e. ISBN number, Dewey decimal number)
• Author/Editor
• Edition (optional)
• Abstract
• Publisher
• Title
• Type (book – hard/soft cover, magazine, journal, paper, e-book)
• Loan type (time restricted/red spot/normal)
Also required in the system is a method to track the library loans and returns. Each member of
the library is only allowed a limited number of loans for a fixed period of time. Renewals are
possible only for the first time round (i.e. only one renewal is allowed) for an extension of an extra
week. Items that are overdue are subject to a penalty.
 
  1. List the possible business rules based on the scenario.
  2. Identify all the entities and attributes.
  3. Draw the E-R diagram (Crow’s Foot Model) and Relationship Schema to show the relationships between the entities and attributes.
