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.
