Education Library Management

ECOSIRE builds a dedicated education-library-management module on top of base, mail, account and stock. We model the catalog as a library.book record (ISBN, author, publisher, category, rack/shelf location) with child library.copy records — one per physical volume, each carrying a unique accession number and its own barcode/QR label. A library.member model links to res.partner and enforces borrowing limits and loan periods that differ by member type (student vs staff vs faculty). Circulation runs through a library.loan model where issue and return are driven by barcode/QR scan against due-date rules; an @api.depends-computed field calculates overdue days, and a scheduled automated action (Odoo ir.cron) posts the fine to account via the Fees/Accounting flow so nothing is collected off-book. Reservations use a library.reservation hold queue with renewal logic, and lost/damaged copies trigger replacement charges through the same accounting path.

Everything is real Odoo, not a black box. Access is governed by ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so a branch librarian sees only their library's circulation while an administrator sees all of it; multi-company libraries are scoped with company_id record rules. The librarian works in list/kanban/form views with an OWL-based scan panel for fast issue/return, QWeb reports render fine notices and circulation slips, and due-date and overdue reminders go out as templated emails/SMS through mail. A website-facing OPAC-style catalog search lets students find and reserve titles from the portal, and a library dashboard surfaces circulation, overdue and inventory KPIs. Reading-history-per-member and popular-titles reporting come from the loan history, and the whole module is reachable over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API if you need to feed a student-information system or gate access. It targets Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0 on both Community and Enterprise (SMS and some website widgets vary by edition, which we confirm during scoping).

Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships until we agree the scope. After a short scoping call we confirm your member types, loan periods, fine schedule and any integrations, then build, test on a staging copy of your database, and hand over installable source. Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope. Pricing starts from $299 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-branch/multi-company libraries, deeper accounting/localization of fines, student-information-system integration, and bulk migration of an existing catalog and member records increase the quoted scope. You get a fixed quote after the scoping call — never a surprise invoice.
