For e.g. you may allow public access only to the book search, book reservation features and not to the features of adding, modifying book record or for that matter to the facility of making a book return entry, while the Librarian should have access to all the features.

The user is at his liberty to use these prefixes or not.

You can add the contents of a book through a very easy form, still easy you may opt to scan the Contents Page’ of the book with a scanner, create a text file and simply let Lib-Smart read’ the contents and save them automatically for you.
•  Lib-Smart understands that all Library members cannot be treated alike. That’s why it lets you mange your member by assigning them to a member category. You can easily create your own Member categories and assign their privileges (e.g. maximum number of books that can be issued, fine to be levied for delay etc)  
•  Lib-Smart lets you categorize your book as per Subject areas for ease. It makes it a child’s play to create or modify Book categories. You may choose to have the Book Identification number include a prefix to indicate its Book Category for easy identification.
