Background#

A library is an institution that collects, organizes, preserves, and provides access to a wide range of information resources—including books, e-books, journals, newspapers, audiobooks, videos, and digital databases—for education, research, leisure, and community engagement. Its core purpose is to make knowledge and culture accessible to all, regardless of age, background, or ability. For a university, the library is one of the essential infrastructure facilities. It mainly serves the teachers and students on campus.
图书馆是一个收集、组织、保存并提供广泛信息资源——包括书籍、电子书、期刊、报纸、有声书、视频和数字数据库——的机构，这些资源用于教育、研究、休闲和社区参与。其核心目的是让知识和文化对所有年龄、背景和能力的人都能获得。对于大学来说，图书馆是基本基础设施之一。它主要服务于校园内的教师和学生。

A Library Management System (LMS) is a typical software applied in many common libraries. It is usually designed to streamline and automate the day-to-day operations of a library. It centralizes the management of key tasks to save time, reduce errors, and improve user experience. Core functions typically include:
图书馆管理系统（LMS）是许多常见图书馆中应用的典型软件。它通常被设计用来简化并自动化图书馆的日常运营。它将关键任务的管理集中化，以节省时间、减少错误并提高用户体验。核心功能通常包括：

Resource cataloguing: Creating and maintaining searchable records (e.g., author, title, subject) for all library materials.
资源编目：为所有图书馆资料创建和维护可搜索的记录（例如，作者、标题、主题）。
Circulation management: Handling check-outs, returns, renewals, and tracking of borrowed items (including overdue notifications).
流通管理：处理借阅、归还、续借以及跟踪借出物品（包括逾期通知）。
Patron management: Storing user profiles, tracking borrowing history, and managing memberships or library cards.
读者管理：存储用户资料、跟踪借阅历史和管理会员资格或图书馆卡。
Inventory control: Monitoring stock levels, identifying lost/damaged items, and facilitating acquisitions of new resources.
库存控制：监控库存水平、识别遗失/损坏的物品，并促进新资源的采购。

For this coursework, you will be creating a very simple LMS to support a small library operation. You are not required to write an actual LMS, only the back-end program code that would support one. You will need to complete the LMS based on a rough framework of a CLion project provided, which contains some basic files.
为此课程作业，您将创建一个非常简单的学习管理系统（LMS）来支持小型图书馆运营。您不需要编写实际的学习管理系统，只需编写支持一个学习管理系统的后端程序代码即可。您需要根据提供的 CLion 项目的大致框架完成学习管理系统，其中包含一些基本文件。

Complete and extend it by doing the tasks below. Note that the later tasks are less explicitly described than the earlier ones, meaning that you must solve more problems yourself. This is intentional.
通过完成以下任务来完善和扩展它。请注意，后续任务比早期任务描述得不够明确，这意味着您必须自己解决更多问题。这是故意的。

The coursework is written to be built using gcc through CMake and CLion. It is not recommended that you attempt to build it using Visual Studio or XCode.
课程作业是用 gcc 通过 CMake 和 CLion 构建的。不建议您尝试使用 Visual Studio 或 XCode 构建它。

Assessment Rules( Very important )#

Assessment Format and Scoring#

This coursework will primarily focus on your encoding capabilities as well as your comprehension of object-oriented programming, rather than on your software engineering process (which isn’t required to conform to standard procedures during the learning phase).
本课程作业将主要关注您的编码能力以及您对面向对象编程的理解，而不是您的软件工程过程（在学习阶段，软件工程过程不需要遵循标准程序）。

The questions of the class test 1 are closely aligned with the coursework 1 tasks. Completing these tasks will significantly enhance your performance and positively impact your class test score.
第一次课堂测试的问题与第一次课程作业的任务紧密相关。完成这些任务将显著提高您的表现，并积极影响您的课堂测试成绩。
For class test 1, the assessment format will be a paper examination, and the score obtained on this exam will directly serve as your mark for Coursework 1.
对于第一次课堂测试，评估形式将是一张试卷，这次考试的成绩将直接作为你课程作业 1 的成绩。

Notice on submission#

Please note that failure to submit a complete set of project files by the specified deadline will result in a grade of zero.
请注意，如果在规定的截止日期前未能提交完整的项目文件，将导致成绩为零。

Standard rules on plagiarism apply to this coursework.
本课程作业适用标准的剽窃规则。

The Code should be your own work and must not be copied from the internet or any other source. If you have difficulty with the coursework, you should approach your practical tutor in the first instance. Posting parts of your answer to the coursework on the publicly available internet where other students may access it will be treated as an incitement to plagiarism. Soliciting or obtaining answers to the coursework in exchange for money and any other consideration will be treated as serious academic misconduct. Asking for coursework answers from any party outside of the University is itself attempted plagiarism, and you should not do it; if that third party commits any of the offenses in this section on your behalf, you may be held responsible, even if you were not directly aware they would do so (because you should not have asked them in the first place).
代码必须是您自己的作品，不得从互联网或其他来源复制。如果您在课程作业中遇到困难，应首先联系您的实践导师。将您的答案部分发布在公开可访问的互联网上，供其他学生获取，将被视为鼓励剽窃。以金钱或其他任何考虑为交换，索要或获取课程作业答案将被视为严重的学术不端行为。从大学以外的任何一方索要课程作业答案本身就是尝试剽窃，您不应这样做；如果第三方代表您犯下本节中提到的任何罪行，您可能需要承担责任，即使您没有直接意识到他们会这样做（因为您从一开始就不应该向他们提出请求）。

Warm Tips#

可能出现的错误：
各个类的cpp文件都已经实现了对应的构造函数、虚函数和必要的成员函数。但编译器仍然报链接错误，很可能是 CMakeLists.txt 没有把所有 cpp 文件都加入到编译目标中。
如果使用 add_executable(${name} ${file})，会为每个 cpp 文件单独生成一个可执行文件（比如 main.cpp 只会和 main.cpp 一起编译，BookRoom.cpp 只会和 BookRoom.cpp 一起编译），而不是把所有相关的 cpp 文件一起编译成一个可执行文件。这会导致 main.cpp 链接不到其它类的实现，出现 undefined symbol 错误。
正确做法：
把所有 CHC5028_Coursework1 目录下的 cpp 文件和 main.cpp 一起编译成一个可执行文件。例如：

1
add_executable(main
2
    CHC5028_Coursework1/main.cpp
3
    CHC5028_Coursework1/Book.cpp
4
    CHC5028_Coursework1/BookRoom.cpp
5
    CHC5028_Coursework1/Date.cpp
6
    CHC5028_Coursework1/Novel.cpp
7
    CHC5028_Coursework1/ProfessionalBook.cpp
