How the Vawsum Library Management System works
From cataloguing to overdue reminders, the whole cycle runs in one place.
Most school libraries still run on an accession register and a card system, so nobody can answer simple questions without walking to the shelf. Vawsum replaces that with a catalogue the whole institution can see. Books enter the system either by importing your existing list from Excel or CSV, or by scanning the ISBN barcode - with the phone camera, or with the barcode scanner you already own at the counter. Once a book is catalogued, the librarian issues and returns it from the app or the desktop, students search the catalogue themselves and place a reservation on a title that is currently out, and overdue reminders reach borrowers in-app rather than by chasing them. Late fines follow rules you configure, and the librarian can pull the accession register, issue and return logs, and overdue reports at any time. Departments that run separate libraries get separate catalogues under the same system.

Frequently asked questions
If you have any doubts about our Library Management System beside these, feel free to reach out to us
1. Can I opt for just the Library Management System?
Yes you can. You need not pick the other modules of Vawsum
2. Is it integrated with a Mobile App?
Yes, it works both on a Desktop and an integrated mobile app.
3. I do not have any details of Books. Can I still go online?
Yes, we have a special mobile app-based book scanner. We will be able to go online in no time.
4. Do you provide software for Library Counter?
Yes, our software support both Counter and Online Library management
5. Can we import our existing catalogue instead of scanning every book?
Yes. If you already maintain your catalogue in Excel or CSV, we can import it directly, so you do not have to scan a library you have already recorded.
6. Can students search the library catalogue themselves?
Yes. Students can search the catalogue from the Vawsum app and see whether a title is on the shelf or currently issued.
7. Can a student reserve a book that is already issued?
Yes. Reservations are supported, so a student can place a hold on a title that is out and be notified when it becomes available.
8. How do Students issue Books?
The Librarian issues books over the app. Students can renew on their app as well.
9. Do we need to buy barcode scanners?
No. You can scan the ISBN barcode with a phone camera, so no additional hardware is required. If your counter already has a barcode scanner, the system works with that too.
10. What reports does the librarian get?
The system generates the accession register, issue and return logs, and overdue book reports, covering both student and faculty borrowers.
11. I have special rules for Late Fine. Can you configure?
Yes, we can customise the solution to your requirement
12. We have multiple Libraries basis Departments. Can you support?
Yes, our system supports multiple Department-specific libraries as well.
13. What happens if a book is damaged or lost?
Damaged and lost books are recorded against the borrower and the penalty is applied automatically from the rules you configure, in the same way as overdue fines, so the librarian does not calculate anything by hand.
14. How long does it take to go live?
We can configure the system in a few hours if we have all the data
