Books
A library register that is not a ledger.
Catalogue, issue, return, due dates and fines, with each student's borrowing on their own record.
Books go out and the ledger goes quiet.
A school library's problem is rarely the catalogue. It is that the issue register is a physical book, so nobody knows what is overdue until somebody sits down with it, and by then the child has moved up a class.
What Edustians does about it
Each of these is built and working today. Where something is not, the questions below say so plainly.
Issue and return in seconds
Find the student, find the book, done. A queue at the library counter at lunchtime is short or it does not exist.
Overdue lists that mean something
Who has what, and for how long, with a reminder that goes to the family rather than a note in a diary.
Reading history on the student's record
What a child has borrowed over a year is a genuinely useful thing for a class teacher to see.
The questions worth asking a vendor
Including the ones where our answer is no. A school that buys on a promise and finds a gap does not renew.
- Does it support barcodes?
- Books can carry an accession number that a barcode scanner reads as keyboard input, which is how most school scanners work.
Instead of a wall of logos
What you can check for yourself.
Your data never leaves India
Hosted in Mumbai. Every institution's records are separated inside the database itself — not by a line of application code somebody could forget to write.
Built for the DPDP Act 2023
Parental consent, withdrawal and erasure are working features, including the stricter rules that apply to a child's data.
UDISE+ without the fortnight
Your return is generated from the records you already keep, and every figure can be opened up to show the rows it came from.
Readable by everyone
Measured against WCAG 2.2 AA across every screen on every release — because a grandparent at the school gate uses this too.
See it with your own school's data.
A working demonstration on your own classes, your own fee structure and your own report card format — not a slide deck.
