Project Details

Electronic Library Catalogue

Transfer of typewritten library card index to web-based Koha Library Management Software package.

Working for a London-based society to transfer their library records from a venerable typewritten card-index to a web-accessible open-source Koha index.

Spread over several years, and involving the work of a significant number of volunteers, the project involves:

• Bulk-scanning the existing library card index.
• Transcribing the scanned images via a custom web-interface to an intermediate database.
• Setting up an populating a Koha installation.
• Training.

On completion the project will provide members of the society with remote access to the library catalogue, as well as modern library management tools to the library itself.
