To provide the effective policy-making support for manager, and to give the reader a better service. the paper proposed a new decision support system based on data warehousing technology for the library, and used SQL SERVER solution to carry out its research, design and analysis applications.

In this paper, I summarize the article and offer comments about

Methods used to produce the article

The author had examine several types of systems

(data warehouse(DW), On-Line Analysis Processing(OLAP), Data Mining(DM), On-line analytical mining (OLAM) and Decision support system(DSS)) This is a research paper and what Ive been trough about, the author have used the approach of qualitative research. Which is he also consulted by several sources such as;

Method used in term of delivering ideas

He divide into four sections. (Introduction,

system structure, key technologies of implementing systems and the application also the conclusion). Each section the author evaluate the content into several parts and accompanied by some figures.

What was measured?

The system structure of a new library decision

support system based data warehouse. Key technologies of implementing the system The application of the system.

This article was conducted and published by department of Computer Science And Technology, Dezhou University, China.

Theres no argument in this article because it is a research paper that cover a review of implementation and application of systems. So theres no various opinion discussed in this paper.

The author realize that the present condition, which the library application's data warehouse technology is not very mature, but can obtain the data through the experiment and use in the practice, which has important guiding significance to library managers and readers.

Library can use the idea presented.

weaknesses
Technical wording. Lack of figures and charts or flows.

Knows some sort of systems and it use Eg: (data warehouse(DW), On-Line Analysis
Processing(OLAP), Data Mining(DM), Online analytical mining (OLAM) and Decision support system(DSS)

Based on what was discussed I found that this article could help in the development of the library system but still need more research on some subjects and the author should use words that are more easily understood and provide more methods or approaches.
