Baxter Community College is a two-year school in New Jersey. Twice a year, the records office at Baxter mails requests for donations to the alumni. The staff uses a word processing merge file to create personalized letters, but the data on past contributions and other alumni information is stored manually. The registrar, Mary Louise, recently submitted a systems request asking the college’s IT department to develop a computerized alumni information system. The school does not have a formal systems review committee, and each department head has an individual budget for routine information services.

Todd Wagner, a systems analyst, was assigned to perform a preliminary investigation. After reading his report, Mary asked him to proceed with the systems analysis phase, saying that a formal presentation was unnecessary. Todd has scheduled an interview tomorrow with her, and he asked you to help him prepare for the meeting.

Assignments 1. Make a list of the topics that you think Todd should cover during the interview.

2. Prepare a list of specific questions that Todd should ask. Include open-ended, closedended, and range-of-response questions.

3. Conduct student-to-student interviews, with half the students assuming Todd’s role and the other half playing the registrar.

4. Document the information covered during the interviews.
