The library follows an electronic loan system that tracks all books, including their titles, authors, copies available, and classification numbers. To borrow books electronically, students must have a library ID. The borrowing process involves the following steps:

Open the borrowing screen.

Select the book classification.

Choose the book title.

Press the "Borrow" option.

Enter the ID number.

Verify the book details before submitting the borrowing request.

Submit the borrowing request.

The request is received electronically through a computer system connected to the borrowing screen, after which the requested book is handed over to the student. This system helps library staff track the borrowing process, including the duration of the loan, overdue periods, and generates statistics on borrowing patterns, book availability, and classifications.
