Exercise 5: Library Catalog & Database

1. write the database of the hotel (similar to the library database)

-Everywhere in the world there are collectors. And you may take it from me; there are A LOT OF THEM. It is very human to have something you collect. There is nothing abnormal to it, rest assured. In our life, in the kitchen, or in our desk drawer at home, there is bound to be some sort of collection. All the money in your bank account is a collection, too. And the antique cutlery in your mom's cupboard is a collection as well. So if the 'objects' have some connection to one another, or they belong together in some way, it is a collection. Same thing as Hotel Database, which has all the collection of guest's personal details:

Names and Addresses
Name
First
Phone Number
Gender
Pet Y/N
Vegetarian Y/N
Smoker Y/N











2. Go to the library website, search for the bibliographic of database books in the library catalog (OPAC = Online Public Access Catalog)
