| ==Books!==
| |
| | |
| If you use a book or like it, and want to make sure it doesn't get weeded, please write your name or something indicative of your interest on the inside front cover.
| |
| | |
| Noisebridge has a lot of them, they're mostly sorted, mostly sitting on our South wall shelf.
| |
| Here's a rough description of what books can be found where.
| |
| | |
| Sections:
| |
| | |
| # Small black shelf on west side of library
| |

| |

| ==Sorting==
| |
| The books are currently for the most part sorted thanks to Al. Proposed systems to help keep the books mostly organized:
| |
| | |
| * Color code or number shelves and books. Books that belong on the "Yellow" shelf will have a yellow sticker on it.
| |
| * Leave it chaos
| |
| * bar codes or QR codes or library of congress index numbers
| |
| | |
| ==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.
| |
| * 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
