AI Reading Guide
The next good read, from your own shelves.
AI Reading Guide suggests books to each reader from the library's own collection and subscriptions, based on their course and what they have borrowed. Every suggestion shows whether it is available and where it sits on the shelf, and only the reader can see it.
ON THE READER'S PHONE
Riya borrowed Organic Chemistry Vol. 2 this morning.
By the afternoon her phone shows four titles that readers in her course found useful next. Three are on Shelf C-14 and one is an e-book. Only she can see this list.

WHAT AI READING GUIDE DOES
Built for the way your library works.
Only from your collection
Suggestions come from your catalogue and your subscriptions, never from an outside bookstore, so every title is one the reader can actually borrow.
Aware of the course
A second-year B.Sc. Chemistry student sees different suggestions from a first-year B.Com. student, even for the same search.
Available and on which shelf
Each suggestion shows copies available, the shelf location and any e-book version, so the reader can walk straight to it.
Private to the reader
Suggestions are shown only to the reader. Librarians see borrowing records only for running the library.
Librarian reading lists
Librarians and faculty publish lists for a course or event, and the guide includes them in suggestions.
Right for younger readers
In school libraries, suggestions respect reading levels and age groups that the librarian sets for each class.
HOW IT RUNS
Four stamps on the card.
Borrow
A reader borrows Organic Chemistry Vol. 2 from the desk or kiosk.
Match
The guide looks at titles other readers in the same course found useful next.
Check
It keeps only titles that are on your shelves or in your subscriptions.

The reader sees them in the app, with availability and shelf, and nobody else does.
