Items

Items are the post type used to represent single physical items of a library's media. For most libraries the word book is interchangable with item but, as libraries can also contain DVDs, CDs and other media, the more general term item is used.

Items are similar to the default WordPress Post in that they have a title, editor, featured image and customisable permalink. While items have features that expand their capabilities to hold domain information, the power of items comes from their interactions with WP-Librarian's other post types: Members, Loans and Fines. Items can be loaned to Members, creating Loans. If the Item is returned late (after its due date) a Fine may be incurred.
