A well-organised library without the register

A school library can hold thousands of books. With a paper register it is hard to know which books are available, who has borrowed what, and which books are overdue.

The library module of Ultimate School Manager catalogues every book and records every issue and return against the student or staff member. Librarians spend less time on paperwork and more time helping students read.

Key Features

Book catalogue

Record every book with title, author, publisher, category and number of copies.

Issue and return

Issue and return books in seconds against a student or staff member's record.

Overdue tracking

See overdue books at a glance and remind borrowers to return them.

Fines

Calculate late-return fines automatically by your library rules.

Quick search

Find whether a book is available, and who has it, in seconds.

Library reports

Issue history, popular books and stock reports for planning purchases.

Exit clearance

When a staff member resigns, library clearance is part of the exit checklist, so pending books are closed before the last working day.


How It Works

  1. Add your books to the catalogue, or import an existing list.
  2. Issue books to students and staff against their USM record.
  3. Track due dates, overdue books and fines.
  4. Use reports to plan new purchases and stock checks.
