Guidelines for Renewing Loaned Items

In our small library system, librarians can select a specific borrower, allowing for easy management of loaned-out items. Once selected, you can review the details of the items currently on loan and choose to renew all or just specific items. By renewing, the due date for the selected items is updated, ensuring that borrowers have additional time to enjoy their loans without any hassle.


To renew a loan, please follow these steps:
  • Scan or enter the borrower's barcode number in the "Enter or scan barcode" box (1).
  • The appropriate borrower will be automatically selected (2), or you can press the Enter key to confirm the selection.
  • Review the items that are currently loaned out in the "Active Loans" section (3) and select the item (4) you wish to renew.
  • Verify the new due date (5) for the item.
  • Click "Renew" (6) to complete the renewal transaction.

Renew a loan by using the item's barcode:

  • The item (2) will be automatically selected.
  • Review the item dates (3).
  • Enter the new due date (3) for the item.
  • Click "Renew" (4) to complete the renewal transaction.
