Our mobile application allows owners to record the books they have and loan them to borrowers.


Glossary

The purpose of our app is to connect owners of books with people who want to borrow them. We based our UI off of a combination of Instagram, Facebook, and the kindle eshop in order to replicate a design that was user friendly and also informative.

User- an individual who is using the application. There are two types of Users:

  • Borrower- A user who is looking to get a book from someone else or posses a book someone else owns
  • Owner- A user who has a posses a book they own or has lent out a book they own

Book- either refers to the physical book itself or the digital information stored in the system to represent it *Author: The individual who wrote the book *Owner: The individual who owns the copy of this book *Status: the current condition of the book *Description: A summary of the books content *ISBN code: A unique 13 digit that is used to identify a specific edition of a book(but not reprints) used around the world.

Book Status- A book can be in four possible states: *available: The book is currently in the owner's possession and can be borrowed *requested: The Borrower has informed the owner they wish to borrow the book *accepted: The Owner has agreed to give the Borrower the book *borrowed: The Borrower now possess the Owner's book
