How to issue a book to a student or employee

Only books with the status Available or Reserved can be issued.

Steps

1. Go to Menu → Academics → Library → Issue Books to open the Issue Book page.

2. In the Book Number/Barcode field, enter the book number or scan the barcode, then click Search. If the book is not found, it is either borrowed by someone else or not available.

   

3. Click the book’s title.

4. On the right, search for the student or employee who will borrow the book:

   • Student: select Student, enter the student’s first, middle or last name (or admission number), then click Search.
   • Employee: select Employee, enter the employee’s first, middle or last name (or employee ID), then click Search.

5. Click the student’s or employee’s name. Their details appear on the left, together with any books they have already borrowed.

   Note: If the student’s category has a borrowing limit and the student has reached it, a warning is displayed. You can still issue the book.
