Notes:
- Library administrator only enters and modifies data in 2 (3) databases: Library, Borrowers, and WorkingItems(optional).
- There is not limit on the number of records (library items, patrons, library transactions). The practical limit is determined by the amount of free space on your hard disk and by the speed of your hardware (PCs and network). We have tested the software with up to 100,000 records.
