Librarium is a semi-automated library book borrowing and returning system built using Electron and pure JavaScript. It provides a user-friendly interface for managing library resources, including adding books and users, generating printable QR codes for books and students, and recording transactions.
- Book Management: Easily add, edit, and remove books from the library database.
- User Management: Add and manage users, such as students or library members.
- QR Code Generation: Generate printable QR codes for books and users, making it easy to track borrowing and returning.
- Automated Scanning: Utilizes an Arduino ultrasonic sensor and webcam to automatically scan QR codes when books are borrowed or returned.
- Manual Transaction Recording: Users can manually record transactions if needed, providing flexibility in the borrowing and returning process.
