We know that many small schools do not use barcode scanners and barcode labels when processing check in/out transactions. In order to support this feature our library system requires unique entry into NAME field. Values of the NAME field have to be unique.
If you have 2 or more borrowers with the same names, enter them in the following way:
"John Green 1"
"John Green 2"
Enter your library borrowers
Step 3:
Define due date (default value is 290 days - the whole school year), fine(optional) and barcode(optional), and other textbook loan parameters.
