10th Day of my Internship

Hii Interns!!! 😊

The students of SFIT had developed a “Book Overdue” App, the students have to download the app from Google Playstore and if their book is overdue they will get a reminder. Sometimes students forget that their book is overdue and they have to pay fine, therefore this is the great initiative taken by the students for students. Isn’t that great? And you know what.. I generated QR code for “Book Overdue” App. I have an app which scans QR code on my mobile but I never generated one, so I learnt how to create QR Code with help of Chinmayee ma’am. It was very easy. You just have to add the link of the app in QR code generating website, click on generate and download the QR code THAT’S IT. Wasn’t it easy? 😊Generated QR code, took print out and displayed it in library, so that students can scan the QR code and it will take them to the link where they have to download the app. Many students have downloaded the app and it has been helpful to them 😊

Sucheta ma’am was sharing with me about various groups (UG students, PG Students, Faculty, Non-Faculty, Scholar Card and Active User Group, Merit card Group etc…) they have in their library software (Libsuite) where they have to enter each and every detail  e.g. what will be the groups fine, how many books they can issue, how many times they can renew etc. All these details need to be entered in the system in back end, if any mistake happens while entering the said details it affects directly at the Circulation. You remember girls.. when our book gets overdue; our librarian immediately tells us the total amount of fine to be paid looking at the system that is because they have already entered the details in the software from the back end. Learnt how back end works 😊


Today I managed returns counter for some time with help of Sucheta ma’am. Issue and Reissue is easy, but returns section is little challenging specially for me who is a slow learner, searching for the library card, collecting fine if any, giving back the remaining amount, keeping back the book card inside the book pocket. And all this activity has to be done immediately when there is a rush hour. Managed well, but need to work on speed 😊
