Assignment 2: Kiosk Study

Convince your local public library to offer self-serve kiosks so patrons can check their materials in and out.

Write a proposal of not more than 650 words that evaluates the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of these kiosks.

Draw use-case diagrams that illustrate how a patron would interact with the kiosk. These diagrams should illustrate all of the interactions in enough detail to derive functional requirements for the kiosk.

Assume that all materials and library cards carry a unique bar code.

The patron should have the option to receive a receipt for items checked in or out.

Write sample instructions on how to use the kiosk. The library intends to post these instructions on a sign next to the kiosk, so they must be short (not more than 350 words), clear, complete, and well organized.

Your document must follow these formatting requirements:

Follow the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.

Properly cite all sources.

Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date.

All charts and diagrams must be the student’s original work. They must be pasted into the document as neat, legible images.

The cover page and the reference page do not count toward the assignment’s length.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is as follows:

Outline a plan for the operational, technical, and economic feasibility of an information technology-based solution.
