Our small town library was considering a $900 library automation program. I
found this free program called Openbiblio.
http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/
Does anyone have any experience with this program? It might be over my head
with the networking. I unzipped the files and I don't see anything to run.


Thank you for your help,

You need to setup a small private web to run on a LAN
and PHP to run this and then do everything through your browser

This still can cost you nothing as there are many free websevers
and PHP can bedownloaded for free

Have a look here for webservers

.....something that's maybe worth considering is that it's only up to
version 0.4.0; which means that it's an early version and may well have
bugs in.
 
Thank you for your help.
I will look into this when I have some time. I expect that I may need some
help.

Possibly of interest - I had forgotten about this program when you
posted - just ran across it in my files today.

Athenaeum Light is quite fast and can handle large catalogues and manage
borrower lists easily.

The great news is that you can still get it for the cost of an email.

We ask that you register Athenaeum Light, so that we may inform you of
updates, techniques, new products as well as send you our newsletter. If
you don't want to be mailed, that is fine too. We just want to know
where you are from.

Call us altruistic, but we recognise that libraries are not the priority
that some schools want them to be. So if you have few resources (no
budget) for investing in specialised library automation software, then
Athenaeum Light is probably for you (and work you put into Athenaeum
Light can be transferred into fully fledged library packages such as
Athenaeum Pro).

Athenaeum Light works on Windows 95, 98, Windows NT as well as Power
Macintosh running Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X. In fact, if you FileMaker Pro
networked on your computers, you can mix and match Windows and Macintosh
computers with the same copy of Athenaeum Light.

We think Athenaeum Light is very easy to use.
