You are to create a book database for a private client, not too unlike Mr. Pitt on Seinfeld. The client has his own library and needs you to organize his holdings and be able to order new books for his library when he wants them.
You may work in teams on this task as you did on the previous tasks. When your team has completed the task, one member of the team will store it in that person's password protected directory. Each of the members of the team will place a hyperlink to it on their respective web sites (the individual storing it will have a relative link to it, the others will have absolute links to the finished task). When it's ready for me to download and grade, send me a note telling me to retrieve it from your websites.

Though there are several different commercial relational database software applications, we need to use Microsoft Access for this purpose because it will provide an appreciation for relational databases. Additionally, other database classes in SILS assume a working knowledge of Access as a baseline skill.
We will build this database step by step in class. The exercises you will have after each class will be part of the task.
It should meet the standards laid out on the task 05 gradesheet.
Everything on that gradesheet will be analogous to something we will have done in class.
Save the finished product using the standard file name structure for this class.
