Library

A library that knows where every book is

Browse the catalogue as cards, lend by library card, lock copies that must stay in the building, and keep a stock history of every addition, write-off and correction so the shelf count always has an explanation.

• Catalogue as cards. Covers, authors and availability at a glance instead of a dense table, with search that understands multi-word names.
• Loans & requests. Students and staff request a book from their own home screen; the librarian approves or rejects and everyone is notified.
• Locked copies. Mark copies as reference-only so they are counted but never lent out, and stop anyone editing "available" by hand.
• Stock history. Every addition, write-off and correction is logged with who did it and why, so the numbers can be audited.

How it works

1. Add the catalogue. Add books with covers and copies, and mark any reference-only copies.
2. Lend and track. Approve requests or lend at the desk; due dates and returns update availability.
3. Reconcile. Review the stock history whenever the shelf count and the system disagree.

Frequently asked questions

Can students request books themselves?

Yes. A request goes to the librarian from the student’s own home screen, and the outcome comes back as a notification.

Can we stop a book being borrowed?

Lock its copies. They stay in the count but cannot be lent out.
