Nearly every organization lends objects. In which case you need functions such as lending, returning, renewing, reserving and sometimes extensive subscriptions and members administration as well. At many locations where it is required, Bibis LMS offers you the facility of searching the catalogue.
For example, for a reservation you can quickly search for the book or title. The latter is dependent on the form of your organization and the possibilities you want for distinguishing members by possibilities and requirements. It is important that the lending and returning procedures are watertight. Barcodes enable you to work quickly and efficiently. However you want to handle lending, the system will always be able to provide you with information about the borrower and associated information such as other loans, reservations, borrower data, any financial data, etc.

Reservations can be made or cancelled directly. Renewals can be made per individual object, a number at the same time or all.

The advantages of Web technology are evident here as well. The Web pages can be as long as we need them. It is not necessary to swap screens to display large amounts of information. And, of course, you can print directly from the screen.

If wished, the user/customer can retrieve information recorded against his name himself. Reminders, lending tickets and notices can, of course, be printed out against time and name. This dynamic module is used to build up statistics in order to retain as much information as possible that will support your management in taking decisions.

This module takes account of the optimal method of working for each of the various types of libraries and Knowledge Centers. Comprehensive subscription-dependent data is available for public libraries. Special statistics are available for the various authorities. A cash administration has also been included for those libraries that require payment for certain services.

To communicate directly with the librarians in charge, users can send a completed HTML page via e-mail in the Bibis OPAC from a screen in which a title is shown individually. This can be seen as making a reservation that can then be dealt with further in the library. An order can be passed on in a similar way, and can then be judged on its merits in the library and dealt with.
