Our Library Management System is already catered for certain students to borrow more books. Please follow steps below for the setting:

1. Create New Membership

In order to segregate these privilege students from normal borrowings, you need to create a new membership type. To create it, please go to Library Management –> General Parameter –> Create. Select parameter type as “Membership Type” and input new membership type description e.g. privilege students.

2. Create Circulation Parameter for the newly created membership type as 1 above

This is to define maximum no. of books that can be borrowed for the newly created membership type and the assignment is by collection type. To do it, please go to Library Management –> Circulation Parameter –> Create. 

3. Create Membership for the privilege students

If these privilege students have already assigned with other membership, please proceed to step 4 first. However, if the membership for these students have not yet assigned, please go to Membership Mgmt –> Membership Mgmt –> New Member – Student.  Select the students from the relevant level and class and assign the correct membership type.

4. Close Membership

To close membership, please go to Membership Mgmt –> Close Membership –> Close Membership – Student. Select the students from the relevant level and class and tick the checkbox to terminate the membership. Thereafter, please proceed to Step 3 for new membership creation for the students.

It is not necessarily to terminate library membership accounts for those students who are confirmed leaving or transferred before moving to new academic year. If it is the School Policy to allow the school leavers to use school library, the library membership accounts need not be terminated.

On the other hand, if the school leavers are no longer allowed to use the school library, the library membership accounts have to be terminated. This activity is best to be carried out before moving to new academic year. To terminate library membership account, please click on the link Membership Mgmt ~> Close Membership ~> Student for details.
