2. The Undergraduate Library has a new self-check system that allows patrons to check out books on their own. The staff is finding it very difficult to conduct individual demos each time a new user approaches the machines. Make a multimedia demonstration, which can run on demand, showing how to locate a book on the shelf and check it out using the self-check machines.
