Serving library users requires a powerful, dependable information technology infrastructure. It's critical for all library operations. Open Industry-standard, Scalable, Modular, Web-enabled, Comprehensive–these are the hallmarks of an effective integrated library system. A Circulation Module deals with a library having the collection of materials which are primarily paper based. Libraries are very recordintensive: Not only is each title different but for many purposes, the records needed for library operations must necessarily be very concerned with individual copies of each title. A circulation system must know precisely which copy of which volume of which edition of which title has been borrowed by which borrower and when it is due.

Abstract


Serving library users requires a powerful, dependable information technology infrastructure. It's critical for all library operations. Open Industry-standard, Scalable, Modular, Web-enabled, Comprehensive–these are the hallmarks of an effective integrated library system. A Circulation Module deals with a library having the collection of materials which are primarily paper based. Libraries are very recordintensive: Not only is each title different but for many purposes, the records needed for library operations must necessarily be very concerned with individual copies of each title. A circulation system must know precisely which copy of which volume of which edition of which title has been borrowed by which borrower and when it is due.
