Type: article
Abstract: Our research presents "Book-Swap-Connect," an innovative approach to enhance scalability and collaboration in decentralized book sharing.By addressing limitations of centralized libraries and small-scale exchanges, this solution employs a virtual shelf backend to facilitate cost-effective book reuse.Users engage in adding and retrieving books based on predefined constraints, broadening reading options and fostering collaboration.The model significantly boosts book allocation density, attracting a wider reader base and promoting resource efficiency.Our empirical analysis shows a 40% increase in book availability and a 25% reduction in transaction time compared to traditional book-sharing platforms.Through value-based calculations utilizing "Resource Credits" (RC) and "Redemption Points" (RP), fairness is ensured in exchanges, empowering participants and reinforcing ownership.This approach revolutionizes book-sharing practices by promoting responsible sharing, fostering a collaborative reading community characterized by fairness and transparency.By addressing scalability challenges and enabling costeffective reuse, our solution empowers readers and transforms the book-sharing landscape.
