Abstract

When it comes to basic rights education is one of the most important ones. Education is necessary regardless of where you born or where you grew up. In this era, when communication is developing rapidly, it is high time to ensure that education reaches everyone’s doorstep. There is a saying knowledge increase by sharing but not by saving. And to share knowledge book is the best thing to share. But sharing a book is not always convenient and sometimes annoying too as many of those people never return those books. This paper presents an online platform for sharing knowledge. More specifically to share and rent books and a platform to discuss books. The aim of the proposed model is to reduce the problem of sharing books and also to build a community of book readers. This system is a platform for anyone who has a book and is not using it right now and would like to share the books with someone who currently needs it. In this developing country buying books is costly and as people normally keep the book idle after reading. So, it is better to share or sell the book to someone who may need it. So, the main theme is, 'maximum use of the book, minimum use of money'. The proposed model uses the basis of regular social transactions and comprises them into a business model. It mainly focuses on the customer to the customer business model and creates a patronizing and adjuvant platform for both the user and providers. It depicts the challenges related to starting a new platform, identifying the right people, creating and interacting with people, and developing a business model in a developing country. The proposed model is deployed on an android app by which the user will find each other. Some key features are a unique login system, wallet system, my desk, location of a user, interactive chatting between users.
