The last update to these systems took place in 2003 and users within the town have begun to complain about the lack of computer-based resources available to them. Additionally, it has become harder to track the location of books and to determine when a book is out, overdue, needs replaced, etc. The board would like to incorporate newer technologies (e-books, videos, etc.) as well. Is this a program or a project? Does this fit into the realm of IT projects/Programs? Who are the Stakeholders? What types of resource do you think will be available?
