Circulation

Overview

The main goals of a library’s circulation department are to charge out items to registered users and receive and process returned items. Because record keeping plays an important role in every aspect of circulation, constant updating of the records is needed. In an integrated system, many types of records work together to perform a variety of functions. The Circulation module manages user, item (copy), charge (checkout), hold (hold request), and bill (fine/fee) information.
