Key Features

Barcode Integrated: According to the vendor, the barcode integration simplifies the stock taking process by scanning the barcode on each book, making it faster and more accurate. The issue and return process is also expedited, allowing for efficient tracking of book locations. The vendor claims that this integration is cost-effective for libraries.

RFID Integrated: The vendor states that with RFID labels, books can be read without contact or a specific orientation, eliminating the need for line-of-sight. Multiple RFID labels can be read simultaneously, speeding up scanning activities. The system also includes an anti-theft feature and programmable options. RFID integration is available in both High Frequency and Ultra High Frequency. Self-Issue Kiosks automate the book issue and return process.

Database Management: The vendor claims that RS-LIBMAN allows for maintaining a comprehensive database of members, books, CDs/VCDs, magazines, journals, vendors, departments, and more. The system covers various library operations such as acquisition, accessioning, cataloguing, circulation, OPAC, barcode printing, membership card printing, serial/magazine control, purchase invoicing, and delivery monitoring. It generates reminders for late/missed deliveries, membership expiry, and overdue books. Binding management and dynamic location tagging help locate even mis-shelved books.

Faster and Accurate Stock Taking: According to the vendor, the system allows for faster and more accurate stock taking, eliminating the need for manual counting and reducing errors. This feature enhances inventory management and ensures efficient resource allocation.

Elimination of Library and Book Cards: The vendor states that RS-LIBMAN removes the need for traditional library cards and book cards, streamlining the borrowing and returning process. This saves time for both library staff and members.

Powerful OPAC: According to the vendor, the system provides library members with an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) that is easy to use and enhances the overall user experience.

Compatibility with International Standards: The vendor claims that RS-LIBMAN is designed to be compatible with international standards such as MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging), allowing for seamless integration with other libraries and systems that adhere to these standards.

Customization: According to the vendor, the system offers customization options to adapt to the specific environment and requirements of each library, providing a tailored solution that meets the unique needs of different institutions.

Backend Options: The vendor states that RS-LIBMAN offers backend support in both MS-ACCESS and SQL, providing flexibility and compatibility with different database management systems.
