Library Setup
Library Setup & Infrastructure
The **Library Setup** module is the foundation of your digital library. Before cataloging books, you must define the physical location structure. This includes creating **Libraries** (Main, Departmental), adding **Shelves** (Racks/Cupboards), defining **Sections** (Subjects/Categories), and finally mapping them together so the system knows exactly where every book is kept.
📚 The Organization Structure
How to organize your library physically in the ERP.
Library Master
Define Physical Locations
Use this to add the different libraries in your institution. For example, you might have a "Central Library", a "Departmental Library (CSE)", and a "Digital Library".
- Name (e.g. Central Lib)
- Code (e.g. CL-01)
- Librarian In-charge
Shelves Master
Create Racks & Cupboards
Define the physical furniture where books are kept. You can name them "Rack 1", "Almirah A", "Stack 5", etc. This helps in physical auditing of stock.
Section Master
Categorize by Topic
Create logical sections based on subjects or genres. For example: "Computer Science", "Literature", "Periodicals", "Reference Books".
Shelf Section
Map Topic to Location
This is the final step where you link a **Section** (e.g., Computer Science) to a specific **Shelf** (e.g., Rack 5). This tells the system: *"All Computer Science books are kept in Rack 5."*
