Before the system was developed, students had to submit printing requests manually through the library. This process could result in inefficient communication, difficulty tracking request statuses, and additional workload for library staff who needed to manage requests manually.
To address these challenges, I developed the SPAC Library Printing Services System, a full-stack web application that digitizes the printing request workflow.
Students can submit print requests online and monitor their request status, while library staff and administrators can review submissions, approve requests, assign printing costs, and manage the entire printing process through an administrative dashboard.
