Ward Library Materials Database
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2013 12:11 pm
Our ward librarian was just released. She and her husband have spent countless hours building an Access database of the library materials (photos, lesson pictures, manuals, etc) so they could publish a pdf into a binder so that members could look through the binder to find what they need and make it easy for the librarian to find it for them. The pdf is made available for smartphones to search and view at home.
I would hate for the work they have been done to get lost or become obsolete because the new librarian won't be able to keep it current.
They are willing to contribute the database or a CSV dump of it to the Church. Ideally, IMHO, this could be maintained and enhanced as an open source project and be made available for download as a pdf and online access as a database.
I am willing to help with the project as well.
