Author Management

Author Management is a library module feature that allows institutions to maintain a centralized and structured database of authors whose books, articles, or publications are part of the library or academic repository. It supports easy cataloging, searchability, and proper attribution of all resources to their respective authors.

This is especially useful in academic institutions, research organizations, and public libraries that handle a wide range of literature from multiple authors.
