| == Library: What's the point? ==
| |
| | |
| '''There's already a public library!'''
| |
| | |
| Since there's a public library, we're going to focus on books that fill the needs of people using the space right now.
| |
| | |
| '''Anyone can access what they want over the internet almost all the time!'''
| |
| | |
| If electronic books are already accessible, we can focus on the people who would still prefer to use a paper copy.
| |
| | |
| '''The Point! A more refined goal:'''
| |
| | |
| The Library can serve expert and hacker-y literature to people in the space right now.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ''' How many books we have right now? '''
| |
| | |
| Right now we have:
| |
| *1784 books with ISBNs, they are organized by section
| |
| *5 boxes of books that do not have ISBNs (mostly too old)
| |
| | |
| ''' What does the library-org app have right now? '''
| |
| The library-org app:
| |
| *1449 books have been ingested into library-org using [https://openlibrary.org/ Open Library]
| |
| *335 of these need additional processing (1784 less 1449)
| |
| | |
| ''' What can I do? '''
| |
| * '''Initiative 1''': Add dewey decimal system to library.
| |
| * '''Initiative 2''': Collect sets of topic books from experts and source these books.
| |
| * '''Initiative 3''': Begin the process of flagging books to be stored in our stacks.
| |
| * '''Initiative 4''': Improve [https://github.com/robbintt/library-org library-org]
| |
| | |
| ''' Initiative 1: Dewey Decimal! '''
| |
| * Label all 1449 books in library-org with ISBNs on the spine.
| |
| * Recommended to use colored labels by broad subject.
| |
| * Label the shelves and sort the books into their locations.
| |
| * This could be supported by the library-org app, using a checklist or something. Since you can see the spine it may not be necessary.
| |
| | |
| ''' Initiative 2: Source New Books '''
| |
| * This has been started if you [dead_tree#Suggested Books scroll down]

| | |
| ==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
