Abstract
This project has produced a working inventory system for the Auburn University
Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures Multimedia Center. The produced system is called the Foreign Languages and Literatures Multimedia Center Inventory System, abbreviated as “FLLMMCIS” or simply “IS” within the context of this document for brevity. The IS facilitates the Multimedia Center’s inventory lending activities. The system is a database-driven web site that has been written in ColdFusion backed by a MySQL database. This paper introduces readers to the system and details its development. In this paper an overview of the IS from a functional perspective is offered followed by the details of the project and a brief conclusion.
