Turn “just received” into “already being read.” New Arrivals is your campus showcase for everything that just landed—books, e-books, journals, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, proceedings—the moment they hit your shelves (or screens). Students and faculty can browse what’s new at a glance, while librarians move items from Arrival → Processing → stacks with zero duplicate typing and a clean audit trail.
Each record carries title, author, publisher, ISBN/ISSN, year, language, subject, tags, copy count, price, vendor, accession status, and a quick “where to find” location (stack, rack, room).
