DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A CLOUD BASED PUBLIC ACCESS CATALOG SYSTEM

Cloud based public access catalog have been an important part of dispatching information in educational sector, news sectors, industries, libraries e.t.c. Cloud based public access catalog can also be called library catalog. So in this research work, the term library is what we are going to use most. The success of any library largely depends on proper management. Several libraries have suffered failure as a result of inadequate management and incapacitations in handling sensitive information as regards members of the library. This research therefore, aimed at developing a cloud based public access system, which will help direct and position library to meets its ever increasing demands. In the course of the development of this new system, the current system was analytically and critically studied or assessed and thus the identified strengths and weaknesses were highlighted and a new system was designed for the weakness. The ASP.Net programming language was used to code the program modules developed for the system using some computer aided design tools.
