E-R DIGRAM
It is clear that the physical objects from the previous section the member, books, library correspond to entities in the Entity-Relationship model, and the operations to be done on those entities holds, checkouts, and so on correspond to relationships. However, a good design will minimize redundancy and attempt to store all the required information in as small a space as possible.
