MAIN BODY
Reflection
ABC Library is situated in northern suburbs of Adelaide. In this, I work as librarian who
have responsibilities to manage as well as distribute library resources to its users. To record
detailed information about books and improve services, senior manager has considered
computerised library management system. By experience about performing tasks is explained by
using Gibbs Reflection Model which is a framework that helps in examining experiences and
allows to plan from activities which went well and those that didn't well well. Stages of the
model are as follows:
Description: One of my role in ABC Library is to identify key business data objects as
well as their attributes so to further define them into columns in spreadsheet through MS Excel
or software system. I created various versions of spreadsheet that includes details of books that
are available at library. In Version 1 (V1.0), I recorded the list of entire data objectives along
with their attributes as columns. Further, I added around 10 rows of data that comprises
information about data objectives, authors name and book title. Next, Version 2 (V1.1) covers
updates of records that I highlighted with blue color. Also, some records were additional added
that I highlighted with yellow color. Moreover, in Version 3 (V1.2), my working was to identify
each data object and add them into sheet. In the sheet, more attributes including publishing year
and ISBN were recorded by me so that whenever any user will ask for the book, I will provide
them in no time. The last sheet is named as Version 4 (V1.3) in which I had to remove current
attributes from each data object as well as add 5 more rows of data. I performed my roles in
proper manner so that all the transactions such as book issue, return and many more are done
properly. The system helped me to view all the transactions that occurred at the organisation.
Feeling: Working in ABC Library made be feel motivated as the management is
supportive. Also, using computerised library management system was one of my best experience
