[CODE4LIB] Open Source Facebook App

[Wayne Graham]

The Earl Gregg Swem Library is proud to announce the release of it's 
Facebook application, Swem Tools to the open source community. Released 
under the Apache 2.0 license, the project, Facebook Athenaeum 
(http://code.google.com/p/facebook-athenaeum), allows libraries to 
quickly develop and customize a Facebook application that provides a 
searching interface for a library's catalog, website, databases, or any 
other search target, pull RSS feeds, and provide users with the ability 
to show friends their location in the library.

Requirements for the application are relatively light. A set of floor 
plans in image form, a database compatible with the Pear DB package 
(MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc), and PHP 5.

If you're interested, check out the code. Any comments, questions, etc. 
can be posted at one of the Google groups 
(http://groups.google.com/group/facebook-athenaeum-users and 
http://groups.google.com/group/facebook-athenaeum-tech).
