My primary concern is their library
indexing. Although it is not the main university library they just have
around 1500-2000 volumes. As i recall they have a custom Library system
that was written for Windows and based on Access. Does anyone know of a
library indexing program? I'll Google this later, but if you of something
that works great, it'll be greatly appreciated (and it will save me time
and effort for trial and error :))
what we did in the case of Diliman Prep: they had a library catalog based on FoxPro (DBF files) and another one based on Access (MDB). I extracted the data from both repositories using common UNIX tools (DBD::Xbase and MDB-tools) and wrote a replacement application using Perl Apache::ASP that was web-based. Back end was Interbase/Firebird but it could be MySQL.
writing a simple library in/out and search/catalog is trivial. Took me a couple of days to do everything.
