Any new book addition, book issued or returned by students can be entered. Be it a renewal or the search for a book to know its status can be easily done by the scanning the Barcode of the books. Managing your institution’s library is much easier now with barcode integration.

When a new book is added, go to ‘Manage Books’ in the home page of library and then select ‘Add books’.
There will be two ‘Book addition' modes- ‘General’ and ‘By barcode’. Thus, you can add a new book in your library using the barcode of the book.
Scenario 2: When a book is returned/renewed/issued
The barcode integration can also be used in case a book is issued from the library, returned or renewed. You can keep a track of all the entries with help of the barcode in the book.
For issuing a book, go to ‘Issue books’ in ‘Library Management’ and use the barcode to do the need.
In case of returning a book, go to ’Return Book’ in ‘Library Management’ page. Store the returned book using the barcode.
For renewal, go to ‘Book renewal’ in ‘Library Management’ page and use the barcode of the book for book renewal.
The barcode integration can also be used to search for books in your library. Use the barcode of books to look for the current status of a particular book, whether its available or reserved by someone for later issue. For this, go to ‘Search book’ in ‘Library management’ and use the barcode of the book to know the status.
