How it works

From setup to everyday use

  1. Set the rules

    Library name, working days, borrowing limits per member type and the daily fine with grace days.

  2. Catalogue the books

    Title, author, ISBN, category and shelf, with as many copies as you hold.

  3. Run the desk

    Look up the student or staff member, scan or type the copy, and issue, return or renew it.

  4. Follow up

    Overdue books and pending fines show on the dashboard and in each member's record.

What it does

Inside Library

Real screens from the Campus 24x7 admin app. Names and contact details are sample data.

Add New Book form with basic information, inventory details, total copies and automatic accession numbers
01Catalogue

Every title, every copy, every shelf

Add a book with its title, subtitle, authors, ISBN-13, publisher, category, edition and language, then say how many copies you hold and where they live — rack and shelf. Each copy gets its own accession number automatically, so two copies of the same book can be tracked separately as available, issued, lost or damaged.

  • Title, subtitle, authors, ISBN-13, publisher and category
  • Edition and language
  • Rack and shelf number
  • Any number of copies, each with its own accession number
  • Copy status: available, issued, lost or damaged
Circulation Management with issue, return and renew, student or staff lookup, book selection and active transactions
02Circulation

Issue, return and renew at the desk

Look up the student or staff member, then scan the copy's barcode or type its accession number or copy ID, and issue it with a due date worked out from their borrowing limit. Returns and renewals are done from the same screen, and every active loan is listed with its accession number, borrower, issue date, due date and status.

  • Student and staff lookup
  • Barcode scan, accession number or copy ID
  • Due date from the member's borrowing rules
  • Active transactions with due dates and status
Library settings with general details, circulation quotas per member role, fine structure and label format
03Rules and fines

Borrowing limits and fines you set once

For each member type, set the maximum number of books, how many days they keep them and how many renewals are allowed. Set the daily overdue fine and a grace period before it starts, and the fine calculator shows what a given delay will cost. Choose EAN-13 barcodes or QR codes as the label format for your copies.

  • Max books, loan duration and renewals per member type
  • Daily overdue fine per item
  • Grace days before the fine starts, with a calculator preview
  • Library name, code, academic year, timezone and working days
  • EAN-13 barcode or QR code label format
