Library catalog
This library catalog software is an open-source project written in PHP using the Zend Framework. The central developers of the project are at Villanova University and there are users of the system all over the world.
A steering committee meets to make design decisions and to guide priorities for future development. Because there are a large number of customizations we could implement, one of the interesting qualities of this project is in deciding when to customize our installation, when to provide a customization to the community as a configurable option, and when to go along with functionality the core project provides. Sharing code with the community takes time, but each local customization represents an ongoing maintenance cost.
