The Handy Library Manager enables you to create and manage multiple libraries. Examples of separate libraries include Textbook Library, Equipment Library, and Reference Library.
If you intend to manage two or more library databases, it is more convenient to have separate installations of the Handy Library Manager for each one. When you start the library software, your data will be ready for processing.
If you choose to have multiple libraries within a single installation of Handy Library Manager, be sure to pay attention to which library is currently active.
On the Maintenance tab, click Create New Library.
Type a name for the new library and then click Create.
This function will create a separate library with all needed tables (Library, Borrowers, Loan, etc.) and separate data options (reports, labels, templates).
Multiple libraries, if created, don't share any data. All data has to be entered separately.
Question:
Question of the day...is there a way to set up a template for cataloging audiovisual records? Does it need to be a different database?
Answer:
You can use the library catalog to inventory all items. Use "TYPE" or "CATEGORY" to define
the item type (e.g., book, CD, DVD). Additionally, you can manage your audiovisual materials
in a separate library database. The topic above explains how to create multiple library
databases. Please review the audiovisual library template.

Question:
I have three categories of books, books for circulation, books for reference and DVD media. Would I be better off creating three databases or just one and categorizing them in some field? If so, what field would be best for that?
Answer:
You can create multiple libraries; however, we do not recommend this in your case. Please review
the sample items included with the installation, as they come in various types.
We suggest using the TYPE or CATEGORY data field to define the item type, such as DVD, BOOK, CD, or Book/Reference.
Question:
Can I have two libraries? I would like to separate the elementary and high school books so that I have separate libraries. How can I do that?
Answer:
Utilize the "Create New Library" feature. To manage two separate libraries,
it may be more effective to have two separate installations or to install Handy on two different computers.
Question:
Can I keep multiple libraries on one license?
If I create a new library will the old one disappear?
How do I switch between libraries?
Answer: In a single installation of Handy Library Manager, you can manage multiple libraries. This is an advanced feature, and some users may find it confusing to handle items across different libraries and switch between them. When you create a new library, a new database will be created for it. Keep in mind that the databases for multiple libraries will not share any records. In the Library Administrator, click Maintenance and then click Create New Library.
