By automating the complete library management system, Eduwonka Library Issue and Return System enables access to the list of volumes which are available to be issued at any point of time. Only these books are then issued to the users. By providing access to this data on a digital portal, it also helps users save time and effort when going to the library to check out a book of interest.
Eduwonka Library Issue and Return System
For Ease of Library Operations
Any library’s primary function is the issue of books to a user, and ensuring the return of those books on time, else the imposition of a penalty on the offender – whether due to delayed return, or due to the damaged condition the book is returned in.
It is easy to lose track of every transaction when being done manually – perhaps you miss the entry of a particular book being issued due to the rush or ascribe the return of a book to the wrong user due to several copies of the book being available.
Eduwonka Library Issue and Return System not only ensures that such human errors are eliminated, but greatly eases library operations for the staff.
What it offers?
Eduwonka Library Issue and Return System automatically assigns a user the date by which an issued book has to be returned by calculating from the date of issue to the system defined number of days within which a book must be returned.
