6. The Past Pupils Association (PPA) of a school has a large number of past students allover the country and
overseas. The PPA, in collaboration with a leading local bookshop, decided to obtain support from _t1l~< past
students and other donors to increase the number of books in the library. The PPA agreed to develop a web-
based system with on-line payment facilities for this activity. The title and the price of the required books
for the library will be available on the website. The donors could select and pay for these required books
available on the website. When a payment is made, this information will be sent to the bookshop for the
delivery of the selected books to the school library.
(a) Give two advantages of the suggested on-line method over traditional methods for book collection.
(b) Give one disadvantage of ordering books through the suggested website.
(c) Explain how you could improve the website to eliminate the disadvantage given in (b) above.
