I am trying to set up new books (made the mistake of deleting the preloaded book called 32). Do I need to manually enter or can I import a .csv file?

Answer by Alex Urbach

No, the software doesn't support CSV file importing. I've managed to download an installation package from a 3rd party website. The installation was fine, but the program gives errors, but it was enough to check its features. I couldn't find anything related to CSV file import.


The only file format found within the software is the backup that can be created through the main interface. The records are stored in a MDB file which is actually a Microsoft Access file.

I have Windows XP and School Library System is not working on my computer. Why?

Answer by Robert Polubinski

This is an awkward situation because the application is compatible with Windows XP. However, remove the application completely from your computer and restart it. While it's restarting, go to Safe Mode (press F8 continously). After this process, go to Start > Run > Msconfig. Switch to Startup tab and disable all the apps that you don't need. Reboot the PC again and re-install the School Library System. I have recommended this way to avoid conflicts between other applications and School Library System. Try running the software now to see if it works.


Additionally, download the NET Framework that is required for the software: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1639

How to import files from Excel to School Library System v2.0 software? How to derive all book reports, member list report and unreturned book list report?

A
Answer by Alex Urbach

The application does not feature an import function which means that all the items are added manually. Although it's also missing an export function, the software still offers a way to generate reports using the Reports item in the main menu.
