Modules

After Kelly's post I told myself that it would be cool to share our project with you and what's next. Alex began to develop the opac module. Now, this developpment will evolve differently from september with a whole team (commiters, testers, librarians, …), roadmap and users. We have a lot of ideas, work to be done, and things to do … and it's great!

The Google Books module http://drupal.org/project/google_books is a filter module and an API for the Google Books service, that permits a user to insert rich Google book data, cover images, and inline book readers into nodes via filters with data retrieved from the http://books.google.com domain. The API also allows data to be pulled into flat arrays indexed by the text biblio field identifiers like 'author' or 'title.'

Our library is looking for a way for customers to request a room or equipment reservation from our Drupal site. We would like our staff to be able to select a room for library-sponsored events and programs as well while they are entering the details about the upcoming program. Has anyone got a recipe of modules that might help accomplish this task without being too difficult for the public? If possible, we would like to incorporate a financial piece for accepting deposits.

I am new to Drupal and am working on a test site. I like the concept of the Web File Manager, but cannot find a way to do batch file uploads of images and documents. Is this possible? Our current library website has hundreds of files that need to be transferred. I'm hoping not one at a time.

Thanks.

Hiya. Do you have suggestions for storing and presenting opening hours in Drupal 7? This is quite a mundane and universal problem, so i'm absolutely sure this has been solved in many ways. There is the Opening Hours -module, which isn't available for D7 at this time though. The Danish ting.DING uses Office Hours, and present this information very well (see the Aarhus libraries f.ex.) in a list, on a map and for individual libraries.

The LT4L module uses the Library Thing for Libraries related content feature to provide a connection between the tagging of Drupal content and items in a library's catalog.

This is my first discussion in this group, I've been a member for a while and I noticed that most of the discussions & services are related to libraries in the actual world & books catalogs. What I didn't see here & in drupal is the support for books as content, book module is a nice core module used in many places such as the official Drupal's handbook. Unfortunately this project doesn't provide any kind of API to use it easily.

Dear All ,
I'd like to know how do link between The library & Bibliography modules so that it appears :
Title - Patron -Status- Due Date

http://drupal.org/project/feeds_oai_pmh

Yes, yet another OAI-PMH-related module =) It fetches and parses OAI_DC (Dublin core) metadata records from OAI-PMH services, as defined by http://www.openarchives.org/. It's built as an add-on to Feeds module in order to inherit all of its awesomeness and simplify the codebase.

First off, I'm new to library development so tell me if way off base.

It seems that there are a handful of modules for harvesting records from ILS's, into your Drupal site as nodes (biblio or what have you). The two that I keep seeing are Millennium and SOPAC.
* Originally I thought Millennium was better -- it has higher D.O usage statistics, and it's a more Drupal-integrated solution (since it saves records as nodes, on which you can use views/fivestar/comments/etc).
