PINES is a user-friendly application designed to enhance your library experience by providing essential features for managing borrowed items and catalog searches. The application allows users to search the catalog for various materials, offering a convenient way to find books and other resources without needing to visit the library in person. This feature streamlines the process of locating specific items, making it easier for patrons to discover what is available.
In addition to searching, PINES enables users to place holds on items they wish to borrow. This functionality is particularly useful for reserving books that may be checked out by others, ensuring that users can get access to the desired materials once they become available. Furthermore, the app provides a way for users to review the items they currently have checked out, making it simple to keep track of borrowed items and their due dates.
Renewing borrowed items is another important aspect of PINES, allowing users to extend the loan period for items they need for a longer duration. This feature helps prevent late fees and provides flexibility for users who may require additional time with their materials. The application is designed to make library management efficient and straightforward for its users.
If users encounter any issues while using the PINES application, they are encouraged to reach out for support by sending an email to kenstir.apps@gmail.com. In case of crashes or technical difficulties, users can report those problems to ensure that they are addressed promptly. The software has been developed with support from Georgia PINES and is open source, inviting interested individuals to contribute to its development through its GitHub repository.
