NewGenLib Open Source

The screenshot below shows the binding management functionalities within NewGenLib.

When a document is identified as needing binding, the ‘Document Separation’ menu option is invoked. This will add the document to a batch of documents that need to be sent for binding. Once a batch is completed, the items in the batch are ‘checked-out’ to a Binder (one or more binders are defined under Setup operations). The check-out includes an order to the Binder to collect the items for binding. Once an item is checked out to a Binder, an OPAC record for this item will show its status as ‘Under binding’. When the Binder returns the bound items, these are checked-in using the ‘Check-in’ menu option.
This includes the processing of payments to the Binder.
