• 😀 After borrowing, ensure the transaction is saved and print or stamp the borrowing slip for easy tracking.
• 😀 Books can be returned by scanning the book's barcode, not the member's barcode.
• 😀 Late returns are automatically tracked by the system, with the number of overdue days displayed.
• 😀 The library system allows you to set penalties for late returns, such as suspending the student from borrowing more books.

Q & A

What is the first step in the borrowing process for books?

The first step is registering the members, which can be done manually or by uploading member data through Excel. Each member needs to have their information inputted, including their identity type and other details like full name, gender, and membership type.

What should be done if a student’s class information is not filled in during registration?

If the class information is not filled in, it can be set later through the 'administration menu' in the system. It’s not mandatory during the initial registration but can be adjusted afterward.

How can membership card information be customized in the system?

The membership card design can be customized through the 'membership settings administration' section in the system. If you're proficient in design, you can modify the layout and appearance of the card.

Can students borrow books without having a photo uploaded in the system?

Yes, students can still borrow books without a photo, though uploading a photo is optional. The photo can be used to enhance the membership card design, but it’s not required for the borrowing process.

How can the borrowing limit and loan duration be set for different member types?

The borrowing limit and loan duration for different member types can be configured in the 'membership settings administration' menu. For example, students can be allowed to borrow up to a certain number of books, and the loan period can be extended once or twice based on the settings.

What happens if the borrowing list is not saved after entering transaction details?

If the borrowing transaction is not saved, it won’t appear on the loan list. The system requires the 'save' action to confirm and complete the transaction.

How is the return process different from borrowing a book?

The return process focuses on scanning the book’s barcode, not the member's barcode. This allows the system to identify who borrowed the book and track its return status, even if the book was handed over by another person.

What is the importance of the barcode attached to each book in the system?

The barcode attached to each book is crucial for both borrowing and returning books. It helps identify the specific book and ensures that the transaction is accurately recorded in the system.

Can a student borrow a book if they don’t know their membership code?

Yes, the student can still borrow a book by searching for their name in the system. The membership code can be looked up manually or through the barcode if the student knows it.

What should be done if a book is returned late?

If a book is returned late, the system will show the overdue period with a negative number (e.g., -1, -2 days). Sanctions for late returns can be set based on the institution’s rules, such as suspending borrowing privileges.
