A library register that keeps itself.
Every book is catalogued once. Issues and returns are recorded against the student and due dates are tracked, so overdue books show up the same day.
At a glance
- Catalogue. Title, author, ISBN, copies available.
- Issue & return. Recorded against the student with due dates.
- Overdue tracking. Books past their due date listed with the student.
02 · The problem
Books go out and don't come back.
- Issue registers are handwritten and hard to search.
- Nobody knows which books are overdue until stock-taking.
- Following up on late books depends on the librarian remembering.
03 · Why the problem exists
It's not your staff. It's the setup.
- Paper registersCan't sort by due date.
- No link to studentsLibrary records don't follow the student record.
04 · The KalviOne solution
Catalogue, issue, return — tracked.
Books are catalogued with copies. The librarian issues to a student with a due date; returns close the issue, and anything past its due date appears in the overdue list.
