Student’s Guide Module 4. Database Design, and Information Storage and Retrieval Introductory note 1. Aim This is Module 4 of the ICT for Library and Information Professionals (ICTLIP) Training Package for Developing Countries. The Package of training materials is intended to provide knowledge and skills dealing with the application of ICT to library and information services. It is meant for library and information personnel who may become trainers in the area. The Package has been developed by the UNESCO Asia & Pacific Regional Office with funding from the Japanese Fund in Trust for Communication and Information. It contains six modules: Module 1 Module 2 Module 3 Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 Introduction to Information and Communication Technologies Introduction to Integrated Library Systems Information Seeking in an Electronic Environment Database Design, and Information Storage and Retrieval The Internet as an Information Resource Web Page Concept and Design: Getting a Web Page Up and Running All the modules have a Teacher’s Guide and a Student’s Guide. The Student's Guide maybe copied by the students in electronic format. The Student’s Guide contains the following: • Module Introduction • Handouts: Lessons 1-5 • Activities • List of references • Glossary 2. Learning outcomes: Module 4 concerns the concepts of database designing using WinISIS, and the storage and retrieval of information. By the end of the Module, students should: • Be able to use the basic features of WinISIS • Be able to identify the principles of database designing • Be able to design and use a sample database • Understand the technological features Module 4:Database Design, and Information Storage and Retrieval: Introduction Page 1 of 59
• Know how to use conversion programs to import information from other systems to WinISIS Note: The content of Module 1 must be understood by all students (either by students first finishing Module 1, or as a result of prior knowledge of ICT) before they proceed with the remaining five modules in the ICTLIP Training Package. Scope of the Module 4 Lessons : Lesson 1. Introduction to CDS/ISIS Windows (WinISIS) version: basic features Scope of Lesson 1: Lesson 1 will answer the following questions: – Why use a database management system (DBMS)? – What are the development stages in CDS/ISIS? – What are the basic features and functions of CDS/ISIS Window version (WinISIS)? – What are the hardware requirements and how compatible are they? – How do you install WinISIS and run it on your computer? Learning outcomes of Lesson 1: By the end of the lesson you will – Understand the advantages of using database management systems – Understand the different development stages of CDS/ISIS – Understand the basic features and functions of WinISIS – Be able to install WinISIS on your computer and to open sample databases Lesson 2. Database creation using WinISIS Scope of Lesson 2: Lesson 2 will answer the following questions: – What are the four components of a WinISIS database? – How do you define the Field Definition Table (FDT) of your database? – How do you create the Work Sheets (FMT), Field Select Table (FST) and the Display Formats (PFT) of your database? – How do you modify the FDT, FMT, FST and PFT? – How do you create additional FMTs and PFTs? – Finally, how do you create and modify a library database using WinISIS? Learning outcomes of Lesson 2: By the end of the lesson you will be able to: – Identify the four components of a WinISIS database – Define the FDT of your database – Create FMT, FST and PFT – Edit and modify FDT, FMT, FST and PFT – Create additional FMTs & PFTs – Create and modify a library database Module 4:Database Design, and Information Storage and Retrieval: Introduction Page 2 of 59
