Toa better understand how the librarians, go about their daily lives I would first likea a a a a a a a a a a a a a toa
observe them. Nota a a ina aa a a National Geographic, type of way, but I woulda a a a a a a a like toa a shadow a
librarian see what sections she uses the most and how easy for her finda toa a a a a a a a a a a ita isa a a toa a exactlya
what looking for. Secondly, like interview the librarians one by one, becausea they’rea a a a I’da a toa a a a a a a a
eacha answer unique. not a fan ofa ina a I’ma a a a a a a a a groupa interviews because people usually tenda a to geta
shy about what they find difficult. Lastly, like send questionnaires the librarians,a a a a a a a I’da a toa a a toa a a soa
that they could do their own and anonymously. Having anonymous answers hasa a a a it ina a a a timea a a a a a a
itsa perks because people usually tend bea a a a a toa a a blunter. I’da record the librarians answers usinga a a a a
user stories and use cases. When using user stories Ia a a a a a a a a a a a a woulda create two word documents.a
One document will contain positive stories and the other woulda a a a a a a a a a a a state the negative stories.a a
This will help define what needs be worked ona a a a a a toa a a a a a a first.a When usinga Use cases, Ia a would
prefer do them on sheet. I would do the samea toa a a a an excela a a a a a a a thing for excel sheets whena a a a a ita
comes dividing them between negative or positive. The only difference would be thata toa a a a a a a a a a a a a ina
the extensions part of the use case, Ia a a a a a a a a a a a a woulda include mya a observations of how I see thea
librarian going out that specific topic. One on one interviews with librarian woulda a ab a a a a a a a a a eacha a a
be a good onea a a a a to use for this. There are probably few librarians on staff for this size of aa a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
library and getting with one find out what functionality the program woulda a a a eacha a toa a a a a a a a needa
an asd what type of automation would be needed sucha a a a a a a a a a automatically trackinga a the persona a
checking out the book,a a a a a a a a a a how long theya have hada it, e-maila reminders for overdue books etc.a a a
This information could also be obtained with brainstorming, or a focus group comprised ofa a a a a a a a a a a a a a
the librarians discuss the programs needed functions. During the interview I would writea a toa a a a a a a a a a a a
user stories laying out what the individual person would want from the system beinga a a a a a a a a a a a a a
developed. This would quick notes about what functions they are looking for thea a a bea a a a a a a a a a ina a
system and what they would want see the system do for them. These could be useda a a a a a toa a a a a a a a a a a
during testing seea a toa a ifa a a a a a the functionalitya a the user wants is workinga a a a as they outlined. Another
way record would a use case. Explaining how they wou want the system nota toa a ita a bea asa a a a a a a lda a a a toa a
just track when the book was checked out and back in, but by who, how long they hada a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a it,a
when should be returned, and including e-mail notification systema ita a a a a a ana a a a to ifa notifya a thea
books are overdue and what charges are incurred. could also have details explaining whata a a a a a a a Ita a a a a a a
happens the book when returned such information on where goes puta toa a a a ita isa a a asa a a a ita a soa it isa a a ina
