The library is a collection that we have assembled over the years through our day to day donations. Outside the Monkey House contains the books of our library. There is a list of Books We Want to look out for (or request).
Library Software
One of the problems with establishing a lending library has been keeping track of the inventory. Recently In 2005, Kevin Turner asked freshmeat about relevant applications. Here are the top contendors:
- Koha
- (if this page doesn't work, try Koha's Sourceforge page)
- Used by real public libraries in the actual New Zealand in the present day. Web and curses interfaces written in Perl.
- (Doesn't appear to have a debian package. - MW 12:29, 1 June 2007 (PDT))
- Open Media Lending Database
- aka OpenDB. Shows signs of reasonably recent development. Web interface written in PHP. package opendb 0.81p18-2 in debian etch.
- Alexandria
- Seems targeted at much smaller installations than Koha, more like a personal collection manager that happens to also have a field for who the book is lent to. Under current development. Gnome interface written in Ruby. package alexandria 0.6.1-1 in debian etch.
