How to catalog new library items (good practice)?
Our Library software comes with two databases: SmallLibrary, WorkingItems.
-
SmallLibrary database: this is the main database where you catalog all your library items. This database supports check-in and check-out transactions.
-
WorkingItems: This database has the same structure as SmallLibrary database. You can enter library new items into this database. Move new records to SmallLibrary database when all information is entered and items are ready for circulation.
