How to add books to the library

When adding a book to the library, you can enter its details manually or use a barcode reader to scan the book’s barcode number.

Steps

1. Go to Menu → Academics → Library → Manage Books.
2. Click Add Books in the top right corner.
3. Select the book addition mode:
   • General: enter all book details manually.
   • By Barcode: use a barcode reader to fill in the barcode field automatically.
4. Enter the Book Number. Only the first book number needs to be entered manually; the following numbers increment automatically.
5. Enter the book’s Title.
6. Enter the Author.
7. Select the tags that apply to the book. If needed, create new tags in the Custom Tags field (for example: Comic, Fiction).
8. In the No. of Copies field, enter the number of copies (available in General mode only).
9. Click Create.

Tip: Using a barcode reader speeds up searching, issuing, renewing and returning books.
