Opportunities

Improvement on current
systems:
- Electronic browsing
through Singapore One: Summaries or reviews of books from
authors may be scanned into the website. When users visit the webpage,
they can read up the information provided on the books and decide
whether they want to borrow the book or not. If they want, simply click
'Yes'. The library will have the books delivered to the user's
doorsteps.
- Issue Virtual libray
card: implemented for users who want to read books
online. When users visit the website, they can assess books converted
into electronic form. Disadvantage: Would it violate the law?
- Conduct monthly
interviews: have different personnel or celebrity (ie Lee
Kuan Yew, Zoe Tay etc) to recommend books they enjoy.
- Backdrops:
provided at every housing estate. (May be too exagerated)
- Videotape author's
speech about why books are recommended: allow users to
view the tape online to enhance interaction and to provide sounds and
movements.
- Accessing of
electronic media through Singapore One: ie CD rom and
videos.
- Replacement of
cashcard: deducts fines directly from users' bank
account.
