BroLib Library Management System

The BroLib Library Management System is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline and automate the day-to-day operations of libraries. From managing acquisitions to circulation, fees, and user management, BroLib offers a complete set of tools that help library staff efficiently organize and maintain resources while improving the user experience for both students and staff.

Key Features:

• Acquisition & Accessioning Management
  The Acquisition & Accessioning Management module simplifies the process of acquiring new resources for the library. This module ensures efficient tracking of each step in the acquisition cycle, including:
  • Pre-order bibliographic searches to avoid duplication.
  • Order placement, receipt of goods, and quality checks.
  • Invoice processing and payment to vendors.
  • Automatic allocation of unique book IDs to newly acquired resources.
    This system reduces manual workload, ensures proper documentation, and keeps the library’s resource catalog up to date.
• Catalogue Management
  The Catalogue Management module is designed to efficiently organize and maintain the library’s collection. Library resources—whether books, articles, maps, or digital content—are cataloged by title, subject, author, and date of publication. Using rack numbers and location identifiers, the system ensures easy retrieval of items. The catalog is fully digital, making it accessible and searchable for staff and students.
• User Management
  The User Management module allows you to create and manage detailed records for each library user. By maintaining a database of user information, including name, ID, and login credentials, the system tracks library usage and allows for efficient monitoring of user activities. It also supports a multi-user environment, allowing simultaneous access without compromising system performance.
• Circulation Management
  The Circulation Management module integrates QR code technology to streamline the movement of books and other resources. QR codes are linked to each library item, allowing for easy tracking during issue and return processes.
  • Stock verification is also made simple through QR code scanning.
  • Students and staff can search for resources by author, subject, title, or publisher, with real-time updates on the availability and location of resources.
  • The system automatically notifies users when an item they’re looking for becomes available.
• Fee Management
  The Fee Management module tracks membership fees, as well as fines for unreturned, lost, or damaged books. The system automatically calculates overdue fines based on the number of days past the due date and notifies the user of the fine. Until the fine is paid, the system places restrictions on the user’s access to library resources.
• Detailed Tracking
  BroLib offers a robust tracking feature that keeps a comprehensive record of the library’s assets. The system monitors:
  • Issuance and re-issuance of items.
  • Returns and overdue items.
  • Book locations, ensuring that each item can be found easily by staff when required.
• Automated Reminders
  To help reduce administrative overhead, the system sends automated reminders for upcoming due dates, overdue books, and fines. These reminders are sent via SMS, email, or in-app notifications, ensuring timely returns and smoother operations.

BroLib Library Management System helps you manage your library resources efficiently, enhance user experience, and reduce administrative workload. From acquisition and cataloging to circulation, fee management, and automated reminders, BroLib is the ideal solution for modern library operations.
