In-Out Management System
The In-Out Management System is a web-based application used to track visitors to the library and related locations, such as the study zone and reading room. It scans the barcode on an ID card and records the entry and exit times of visitors. Visitor data and images are fetched from the KOHA database.
The system has two interfaces: one for scanning barcodes at the entrance and another for accessing reports. It generates four types of reports that can be downloaded as Excel files.
