Library Management

Library Management Software With a Real Digital Catalogue

Catalogue, circulation and fine management for campus and school libraries.

Library management software digitizes cataloguing, issue-return circulation and fine calculation, giving librarians a searchable catalogue and students self-service visibility into what's available and what they currently hold.

A card-catalogue library can only really be searched by someone standing in the building. A digital catalogue lets students check availability before they walk over, and lets the librarian instantly see who's holding an overdue book without manually cross-referencing a register.

What's Included

Digital Catalogue

The full collection is searchable online by title, author or subject, so students can check what's available before walking over instead of browsing shelves on the off-chance a book is in.

Barcode/RFID Circulation

Issue and return are processed with a barcode or RFID scan in seconds, replacing a librarian manually writing entries into a register — which matters most during the rush of returns at term-end.

Automated Fines

Overdue fines are calculated and tracked automatically from the due date, rather than a librarian manually working out how many days overdue each borrowed item is.

Borrowing History

A complete borrowing history is kept per student or staff member, useful both for recovering lost books and for understanding which resources are actually being used.

Inventory Audits

Stock-audit reporting shows the full collection's status at any time, replacing an annual manual physical count that can take a library out of service for days.
