Library, every book accounted for

Schoolyam Library manages the whole school library with barcodes: cataloguing, shelf mapping, member cards for students and staff, scan-to-issue and scan-to-return, overdue fines and stock verification — so the librarian knows where every book is, and who has it, at all times.

Questions principals ask

Frequently asked

Do we need special hardware for the barcode system?

Just an ordinary USB barcode scanner (any ₹1,500 model works) and a label printer or A4 label sheets — Schoolyam generates and prints the barcode labels and member cards itself.

How are overdue books and fines handled?

Due dates set themselves at issue based on member-type rules; overdue returns calculate the fine automatically, and defaulter lists (with parent notification) mean books actually come back.

Can we do annual stock verification without closing the library?

Yes — verification is scan-as-you-go. Scan shelves section by section over any period; the report tracks verified, missing and misplaced copies continuously.
