The university has a large library system to service four different campuses at various locations and in different cities. Students from all different cohorts, such as on-campus and online, use library services for their studies. The library has approximately 185,855 resources in its catalogue including monographs, books, images, government reports, digital resources such as audio and video resources and access to a range of online search databases such as A+ education, ABI/INFORM collection, Oxford journals, IEEE Xplore etc.

Due to recent increase in variety of library resources and how they can be used, the library’s existing information system is struggling to cope with the demands of its users. As a result, there are a number of functions such as narrowing down the search results, including variety of types of resources in the search results and keeping and matching the existing search results with new searches etc, that are not working efficiently.

Specific analysis techniques have not been taught yet, so this assignment does not require technical descriptions.

RATIONALE

Your answer should be a report approximately 1500 words, title page, references, and figures are not part of the word count. You should use your own words and you can not use quotations.

Example 2.

An exam with 2 days (48 hours) of writing time. If a student submits after 60 hours, the 12 hours of excess time represents 25% of the total duration and they would therefore be deducted 25% of the maximum marks available for the subject.

REQUIREMENTS
Your exam will be an open book, time-limited online exam with invigilation conducted by CSU staff via Zoom. You will need access to a webcam and microphone. The exam will be timetabled as per normal and you will be notified of your scheduled time via the exams office. The exam questions will be available from an interact 2 test within your interact 2 site. The link to your exam within Interact 2 will become active at the time specified in the exam timetable. Once you have completed your exam, you will submit your answers to the online test as per the details below. Detailed information about online proctored exams is available from the following link:

• Other documents/applications opened on your computer/laptop.

What to remove from your desk and exam room before your exam

• Computing devices other than a calculator and the device used to sit your exam.• Mobile phones (if used as communication devices) or other electronic communication devices (including smart glasses).

The time allocated to complete the exam is 10 minutes reading time + 2 hours writing time + 30 minutes technology allowance. The technology allowance gives you extra time to deal with the different test conditions (e.g., uploading file, making allowances for typing speed, slow internet, etc.). You are allowed to answer questions in your test for the whole allocated time.

The test will be automatically submitted when that time is up. It is your responsibility to ensure that questions are completed by that stage.

The sample exam is a guide to the style and format of your final exam. Additionally, there will be an example test to help you become familiar with how the i2 test system works.

The examination consists of:

• be able to compare and contrast the different methodologies of systems analysis and evaluate their appropriateness for different and complex situations.

• be able to distinguish between requirement gathering techniques and combine these appropriately to apply to a real scenario.
