Library Management

Cataloguing, issue and return, fines and stock verification — barcode ready from day one.

Hungry Minds library management — catalogue, issue and return
What it is

A library that cannot tell you where a book is has a catalogue, not a library.

Our Library Management module handles the full life of a book: accession and cataloguing, classification, barcode labels, issue and return, renewals, reservations, overdue fines, lost-book recovery and annual stock verification.

Members are not entered twice. Students and staff come from the same records the rest of your campus software already keeps, so a student who leaves cannot quietly keep a book, and a clearance certificate can be refused automatically while an issue is outstanding.

The librarian gets the reports that a library is actually judged on: books issued, titles in demand, dead stock, defaulters, and a stock verification statement that reconciles the shelves against the register.

What you get

Built around the work.

Barcode issue and return

Scan the card, scan the book, done. Works with any standard USB barcode scanner.

Full cataloguing

Accession register, classification, author, publisher, edition, price and rack location.

Automatic fines

Overdue fines calculated to your own rules, with concessions and waivers recorded properly.

Searchable catalogue

Students search by title, author or subject from the web and the app, and reserve what is out.

Stock verification

Annual physical verification done with a scanner, producing a reconciliation statement rather than an argument.

No-dues integration

Clearance and transfer certificates are blocked automatically while a book is outstanding.

The working process

From first call to running smoothly.

Every installation follows the same path, so you always know what happens next and who is doing it.

01
Catalogue assessment

We look at your existing accession register and estimate the cataloguing work honestly before quoting.

02
Data entry and barcoding

Existing titles are entered and barcode labels are printed and pasted — our team can do this work or train yours to do it.

03
Member linking

Students and staff are linked from your existing campus records, so no member list is typed twice.

04
Rule setup

Loan periods, entitlements by class or department, fine rates and reservation rules are configured to your library's policy.

05
Librarian training

A short, practical session at the counter — issue, return, renew, fine, search, report.

06
First stock verification

We stand with you through the first annual verification, after which your staff run it alone.

In the field

The software, in use.

The library shares one record with the rest of the campus, so a member is never entered twice.

The cost

Plainly stated.

No hidden charges, and nothing you have to ask three times to find out.

Quoted to your institution

Library Management is priced on what you actually need — the size of your institution, the number of users and the work involved in setting it up. Tell us your situation and we will put a written quotation in your hands, usually within two working days.

Prices are indicative and depend on the size of your institution, the number of users and the modules you choose. Call us for a firm, written quotation — there is no charge for the conversation or the demonstration.

Questions

Asked by most institutions.

If yours is not here, ask it. We answer the awkward ones too.

Ask Us

Yes. We quote cataloguing and barcoding as a separate one-time task, or train your staff to do it in stages while the library keeps running.

It can, but it is better linked — members, no-dues and reports all improve when the library shares the campus record.
Talk to us

Shall we show you Library Management working?

We will come to your institution, or show you the whole thing over a call — whichever suits you. There is no charge for the demonstration and no obligation afterwards.
