The Free Geek Library uses OpenBiblio as its software. You can reach it at http://library.freegeek.org .
The software is installed and some of the books have been catalogued; there is a barcode reader set up by the terminal in the library that aids entry by reading in ISBN numbers (the basic process is at Basic initial cataloguing).
Things that need doing to this software
Before we can use this software to check books out to people, we need to be able to:
- Integrate with the database? So we don't have to re-enter the info for users.
- Add documentation (the help pages are blank)/ change interface so that it's usable for the front desk folks
- This includes making the "overdue books report" very easily reached
- Install a bar code scanner at the front desk
