I am pleased to announce a new product which has been developed behind closed doors for some time now during spare time. It is being developed for a local organization but may be useful for others.
What is it? The name is Leeper, a library catalog manager.
Features:
- Web based - All you need is a browser that can handle XHTML, CSS, and SVG. (Firefox 1.5 or Opera 9) Works on Mac OS X, Windows, Linux.
- Categories.
- Users.
- Logging of activity.
- View overdue items.
- Check-out and check-in items.
- Search.
- Browse.
It works really well. It’s written in PHP and is my first released project using the Zend Framework.
And it’s also hosted by Google.
It’s very easy to setup, uses SQLite for the database which means zero setup. All you need is a web server and PHP 5.1 or later.
It’s not designed for newbies as there is no documentation at all. I just wrote it for a local organization and it works great for us.
