Library Management

Capabilities

• Book catalog

  Title, author, ISBN and category management, with copies carrying accession numbers, price and details, printable accession stickers, and a wishlist of titles to acquire.

• Members and digital ID

  Member records with QR digital library cards for students, faculty, staff and management, with remarks that show up at the desk.

• Issue and return desk

  Scan a member, then scan books to issue; return a whole stack by accession number. A book returned the day it was issued needs a short reason, recorded on the loan.

• Gate entry log

  A scan-in, scan-out kiosk at the entrance for students, faculty and staff, and a gate log you can filter by category, programme and member, with hourly footfall and Excel export.

• Rules by member category

  Loan days per category, and a choice of which categories are never fined. The fine rate is stored on each loan at issue, so changing it affects only new loans.

• Holidays, fines and lost books

  Weekly offs, declared holidays and grace days; a fine ceiling tied to the book's price; and a lost-book flow with a wait period and charge.

• Status correction

  When a copy shows Issued but is on the shelf, the librarian corrects it with a mandatory reason, which also closes the stale loan.

• Circulation report

  Issue, return and all-activity views in one report, filtered by date, member category, programme, status, member and book, with chosen columns and Excel or CSV export.

• Collection reports

  Count the collection by programme, subject, publisher, year, location and status, and see the accession register, duplicates and records with missing details.

• Fine collection for Accounts

  Money received against fines by month, staff member, payment method and day, with an Excel download. Waivers are not counted.

• Library roles

  Library screens are open to librarians and management roles only, so a director can see the reports without being given HR or admin rights.
