Abstract
This project has produced a working inventory system for the Auburn University
Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Multimedia Center. The produced system is called the Foreign Languages and Literatures Multimedia Center Inventory System, abbreviated as “FLLMMCIS” or simply “IS” within the context of this document for brevity. The IS facilitates the Multimedia Center’s inventory lending activities. The system is a database-driven web site that has been written in ColdFusion backed by a MySQL database. This paper introduces readers to the system and details its development. In this paper an overview of the IS from a functional perspective is offered followed by the details of the project and a brief conclusion.
The inventory system (IS) facilitates the operation of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures (FLL) Multimedia Center (MMC) library. The primary goal of the library is to provide lending services of multimedia assets to students, faculty, and staff. The system facilitates lending by tracking the status of the library inventory and enables users to perform related business activities. The users of the inventory system are MMC employees. They use the system to maintain an accurate inventory, document lending activities, and administer MMC library policy. The FLLMMCIS is a database-driven web site. The site is organized into two sections. The library section provides the user with all of the primary functionality for which the system exists. The administration system exists to support the operation of the library section. Users operate within the
