  1. Assignment #1: An example LIS-505 Fall 2011

  2. Disclaimer This example is not meant to overwhelm but to inform. I am posting this example of Assignment #1 to give you an ideaof what I am looking for. That said, I do not want to see carbon copies of this particular assignment. I have removed all but the final published references (you need to do your own research ). What I like about this assignment is that the main diagram provides a great overview of the operations within the library and shows the relationships between them. The secondary diagrams provide greater detail and more information than in the overview diagram (this is what I meant about using separate ‘pages’). They also include the main decision points, very important for this assignment. Color, shapes, and other features were used to organize the materials .
