#REDIRECT [[Library]]
 
 
==Library Organizing Application: library-org==
 
An application exists to organize our books and submit new books by ISBN.
 
Go to application: http://library.noisebridge.net:8080
 
==Sorting==
 
The library books were last sorted in labeled during the October 2015 Noisebridge Refresh.
 
We could add dewey decimal tags to each book using the library application.
 
 
==Library Catalog==
A library catalog system for Noisebridge would be awesome! Here are some requirements, adding items to this list doesn't actually mean anything.
 
Cataloging and checkout are separable problems.
 
====High Priority====
* Open source software with a nice license that wont fuck us over in the future.
* Web based.
* Quickly add books to the library via ISBN or bar code scan. [[User:Patrickod|patrickod]] is working on this [[Resources/Library/Dead Tree/Scanner|here]]
* Book search returns the last known location of a book (such as "Green Shelf" or "Book Case 8").
* Books can have a checked out status in addition to its last known location, date of check out should be displayed.
* Users can check out books without the need to register, as in when they check out a book it'll ask for a name and email, blank entries should be allowed as anonymous.
* Users who leave an email address will get a reminder email with a list of books they have checked out once a week.
 
====Low Priority====
* Integration with [http://openlibrary.org http://openlibrary.org].
* Book search returns results with descriptions and a cover scraped from some other part of the internet.
* Library database in an open format to easily export later on.
* Ability to use a barcode scanner.
 
===Possible Solutions===
* Writing it ourselves
* [http://koha-community.org/ Open Source Koha]  Developed in NZ and open sourced as a gift to the world (koha means gift in Maori).
* [http://koha.org/ LibLime Koha] Free but closed Fork of Koha
* [http://www.librarything.com/ Librarything]
* [http://evergreen-ils.org/ Evergreen] Started by Georgia Public Library System -Mostly large libraries
* [http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/ Obiblio]
* [http://selfshelfswap.org/ SelfShelfSwap] Alpha Code (No updates since 2012)
 
== Other Hackespaces with Libraries ==
* [http://www.hackerbotlabs.com/ Hackerbot Labs]  Koha?
* [http://www.lvl1.org/2011/07/07/the-library/ LVL1] 
* [https://ackspace.nl/wiki/Library ACKspace]  List in a Wiki
