The Bookworm Media Catalog System is a school library system that catalogs library media materials and records student check-out and check-in of those materials. The program allows the user to enter information on library materials and during the entry process it has the capability of searching the Internet for the title, author and description.  Since the description takes a large portion of the data-entry time, this feature should help cut down on the data entry time significantly.

Once the materials are entered into the system, students can search for available materials from any computer on the school’s network through a web browser. Librarians can record the check-out and check-in of materials and identify materials that are overdue, damaged or lost. Reports can be generated of daily activity, checkout summary and media details. An overdue parent letter can also be printed.

The Bookworm Media Catalog System is designed to work with EduConnect’s School Administrator program. Student information is imported automatically from School Administrator so this information does not have to be input a second time. The Bookworm server program and database are stored on the same computer that hosts School Administrator. The client program is set up on individual computers that are on the school network.

Access to the program is controlled by accounts set up in School Administrator. Any person set up as an Administrator or Librarian account type can access the Bookworm program to enter or change data.
