When adding a book to your library, you have the option to use a barcode reader and scan the book for the barcode number. We suggest using a barcode reader because the reader will speed up the process of searching, issuing, renewing and collecting the books.
-
At the top of your dashboard, click the module access icon > Academics > Library > Manage Books to open the Manage Books page.

In the top right, click the Add Books button.

In the Book addition mode field, select the book addition mode from the following options:
