Circulation needs current student IDs
Standalone library cards diverge when a student transfers and the old barcode still checks out books.
Schoolyi issue desk lookup uses live roster - photo, class, status visible to librarians.
Leavers workflow flags open loans before transfer certificate prints.
Catalog and copy management
Title records with authors, ISBN, subjects, and copy count. Multiple copies share a bib record.
Import MARC or spreadsheet during initial setup; clean duplicates before go-live.
Weeding and acquisition lists help budget conversations with English departments.
Issue, return, and renewal at the desk
Scan or search student, scan barcode, done. Renewal rules respect max loans and overdue blocks.
Quick issue matters during short break periods when queues form.
Tablet at desk works for librarians who also supervise study hall.
Overdues and fine policies
Configure fine per day or flat replacement cost for lost items.
Optional linkage to fee module bills serious balances through parent portal.
Reading programmes for primaries may waive fines - policy toggle, not manual overrides each week.
Reading history and literacy programmes
Student reading history supports accelerated reader style tracking or pastoral conversations.
Class reports show who has not borrowed this term - nudge before inspection weeks.
Export popular titles for reordering before exam revision season empties shelves.
Librarian workspace permissions
Dedicated role sees catalog and circulation without full finance admin.
