README

The Flatiron Library Network is a mockup website for a hypothetical group of libraries. Users may browse from a list of books, check out books, and review their account status.

HOW TO USE

Log in via "Log in", or create a new account via "Sign Up". After logging in, go to the "Books" menu and browse for a book. After clicking on a book title, the option to check out a book will appear. A user's list of checked-out books may be viewed on their profile page, found by clicking the link in the upper right.

After performing a book search, users will be given the option to request a new book via clicking on "Didn't find your book? Request a book". Click this link, then enter the desired title. The site will then search the Google Books API, and present a list of matching titles. Click "Request Book", select the desired library, and click "Make Request". The book will then be added to the specified library.

DATABASE INFORMATION

Books are seeded from the Google Books API. An initial set of sample books has been seeded by the application. Further books may be added by users via the "Request a Book" feature.
