Circulation
Circulation rules can be defined for each member and item category, and holding branch of the item, the duration of the loan and the maximum number of books loan-able.
Member
It is possible to manage not only individual borrowers, but also institutions. The member category defines the cost of placing a reservation on an item, and the rules of circulation.
Serials
It is possible to register subscriptions and to track the arrival of periodicals. It allows the librarian to work with eleven different publication periods (from daily newspapers to annual publications).
