RE: [seul-edu] OpenBook



Title: RE: [seul-edu] OpenBook

TRF was a little bit more than a marketing group - I made contact with one of their ex-developers (see http://www.arlecchino.org/jgbell/etaoinshrdlu/ ) and acquired the last known beta (available here http://resources.centralmanclc.com/openbook/ ). I really need a PHP based version for integration purposes, and the full MARC compliance, hence Koha is not really ideal.

Cheers

Chris

To be honest, I never heard of OpenBook till now.  But you can find
12 other library applications listed here:

Including Koha, the system OpenBook started from.  It sounded from
what I could find as though TRF was mostly a marketing group
anyway.  If you'd like to help, I'm sure the folks at Katipo would
be happy to have you.
