# ILMO
|
|
is my first bigger FOSS-project. It aims at managing small libraries as found in a department of a university.
|
|
|
|
## History:
|
|
I started to create ILMO for the (rather small) library in the study rooms of mediacal engineering.
|
|
It contains about 300 books, 120 labcoats and safty glasses and some more stuff.
|
|
As I was in charge of the lends I started to get annoyed by our paper-based solution.
|
|
Especially when a bunch of people was trying to lend things it took to much time. Also reminding people to return stuff was unnecessary complicated.
|
|
Therfore I started to programm this library management tool from scratch. I only reused some basic database and session functions.
|
|
The project is still a field of learning how to do things for me.
|
|
Nevertheless after about half a year of development and many tests the system went live in Winter 2018.
|
|
Since then I fill the bugtracker and slowly improve workflows and add functions.
|
|
|
|
## License
|
|
Of course the program is open-source and licensed under GPLv3.
|
|
|
|
## Demo
|
|
Right now there is no public available demo but if you are interested I will lead you the way to my test server.
|
|
|
|
## Using ILMO
|
|
You know someone who could use somthing like this? I would love to see this software in more libraries.
|
|
Right now the programm is optimized to the needs of our student union but I would be happy to work more on this.
