Case Study Description
A library loans three different kinds of items to customers: books, video tapes and compact
disks (CDs). Each item has a title and publisher. In addition, books have authors, and CDs
have artists. The library may have multiple copies of the same book, video tape or compact
disk. There are two different kinds of customer: students and staff. For both kinds of
customer, the library has their name, sex and address. Students may borrow at most 20
items whereas staff may borrow at most 100 items.
To borrow an item from the library, a customer must provide a valid ID to the librarian. The
librarian must make sure that the customer has no overdue items to return and fines to pay
before checking the item out.
Case Study Questions
When answering questions 1 to 3 you should adhere to good naming conventions and
name all your model elements in an appropriate way. You should clearly state any
assumptions you make.
1) Draw a use case diagram and then draw an activity diagram for the Borrow Items
Use Case. (10 marks)
2) Draw a class diagram for the system. Your diagram should include relevant classes,
associations, attributes, multiplicities, and other relevant elements. You do not have
to provide methods or classes that do not use/produce data. (10 marks)
3) Draw an object diagram for the class diagram developed in 2) above. Showcase a
situation where a staff David (male, address: Blk 131, sg) has a book called “The Old
Man and the Sea” written by Ernest Hemingway, published by Scribner’s, overdue 5
days (up to the date today), and needs to pay a fine of 5 dollars. (5 marks)
