Inside LibriSphere: Modernizing Institutional Libraries with Barcode Circulation & OPAC

Institutional libraries in premier schools and universities house tens of thousands of volumes.

Librarians scan the student's digital QR ID pass, scan the accession barcode, and checkout is complete in under 3 seconds with automated overdue WhatsApp notices.
