One of the problems with establishing a lending library has been keeping track of the inventory. Recently I asked freshmeat about relevant applications. Here are the top contendors:
- Koha
- Used by real public libraries in the actual New Zealand in the present day. Web and curses interfaces written in Perl.
- Open Media Lending Database
- aka OpenDB. Shows signs of reasonably recent development. Web interface written in PHP. package opendb in debian sarge, version 0.13.3-1.
- 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 in debian sargei, version 0.5.1-3.
- Tellico
- Like Alexandria in scope, but with a KDE interface written in C++. Under current development. package tellico in debian sarge, version 0.13.3-1.
