Please describe your proposed solution.

Synonymous with education, libraries provide countless learning opportunities that can stimulate economic, social and cultural development. Not only do libraries lend books, but they also reproduce materials for research or private study. Students do not have <u>the means</u> to acquire each of the books or to pay for each of the television programmes or journals to which they must be able to access their studies, so they depend on the services of a library.

Exceptions and limitations, which are an integral part of many national copyright systems, play a crucial role in enabling libraries to provide such services.

My digital library is gonna make available books regarding agronomic, environmental and technological sciences to enable teachers and students to better conduct their research.

Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

This library will help increase the number of resources and dapps existing on the Cardano blockchain because it will be like a gold mine for anyone wanting to learn and to make rsearch in agronomic, environmental and technological sciences. Apart from that, problems related to the preservation and transmission of works to future generations are almost non-existent in the case of e-books. Indeed, these are stored in virtual libraries that protect them from deterioration.

What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

There would be rhuge isques such as the inavailability of documents on our library especially in technological materials on blockchains; for this question we will have to recharge our batteries on catalyst school. Also we would have technical problems during the years, fortunately there will be monthly funds for maintenance.

Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

• Identification of key scientific fields and blockchain material of the 1st September to October 1, 2022
• Creation of the website and its implementation on the blockchain from 1st October to december 1 2022

This topic involves:

• Realization of the front-end

• Creation of the backend

• Implementation of the site on the blockchain

• Assembly of works and materials according to the areas from 1st December 2022 to January 15, 2023

• Integration of works and materials from 15 th January to 30 january

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

• Identification of key scientific areas and blockchain material 1500 $
• Realization of the front-end 4000$
• Creation of the back-end 3000$
• Implementation of the site on the blockchain 2000 $
• Assembly of works and materials according to the fields $1000
• Integration of works and materials on the blockchain 1000 $

Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

Non, because the project will be generating funds for the maintenance and purchase of document.

Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

• In three months we will have produced a prototype to test the application and measure its level of intervention in the research community.
• The source code of the project will be published on GitHub within 3 months post funding as well as the Documents and the links of the various resources that will be used by the library

What does success for this project look like?

At the end of our project we will have a library containing 3 fields including agronomy, environment and technology.

Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

This is a brand new proposal
