How does it work?
Does Acavya have a library module with barcode issue and return?
Catalogue
Scan the ISBN and confirm the details; print the barcode label.
Issue and return
Scan the student card or QR and the book barcode.
Fines
Overdue fines and lost-book charges become invoices in fees.
Verify stock
Run a stock verification and mark missing items.
Does it work in Hindi, offline and on WhatsApp?
- A phone camera is enough to scan; USB barcode scanners that act as a keyboard also work with the web screens.
- Book titles can be entered in Hindi and English.
- Parents can see overdue books and fines in the app and on WhatsApp reminders.
What can it not do?
- Metadata lookup depends on an external service and may miss regional-language books, which you add by hand.
- We do not provide the e-library content itself, only links.
- AI cataloguing from a cover photo is a draft: the librarian checks the title, author and edition before the book is added.
Does a pending library fine block the TC?
The library dues are recorded and shown in the no-dues check. Where state law forbids withholding a TC, they are not allowed to block it.
Can I use a barcode scanner?
Yes. A scanner that acts as a keyboard works with the library screens.
Is the library module available now?
Yes. It is available now, and it is not sold as a separate add-on.
