Handle book reported as lost | Identify book, mark as lost, and assess patron a fine. | |
Manage patron information | Create, retrieve, update, or delete patron information. | |
Cataloguer | Process new book | Add new record to online catalogue, or add a copy to an existing record if book is a duplicate. |
Patron | Search for a book in the online catalogue | Enter a search string, specifying whether to search for a name, a title, or a subject, to see a list of books matching the search string, then select a book to see the full record for that book; or enter a call number, and see a display of the system record for the specified book. |
Administrator | Send overdue book notices. | Request a list of all books that are overdue by more than some minimum number of days. |
