Nelsonville Public Library

In my day job, I'm the webmaster for the Athens County Library system. The site includes sections for teens and kids, information about the library, and access to the library's card catalog (via the open-source software Koha).

Koha Open-Source Library System

As part of my work for the Nelsonville Public Library I have developed whole new templates for our library system software Koha. The OPAC (left) is the interface the public sees when they search for books in the library or access the catalog from home. The Nelsonville Public Library's installation includes searching extensions I've written in PHP to query Koha's MySQL database.

The intranet interface (left) is what the librarians see behind the desk. It is also web-based, but requires a librarian password for access. Our intranet template is designed to be fast, easy-to-use, and convenient for whatever task the librarian might perform. Both the OPAC and intranet templates have been contributed back to the Koha Project, so anyone around the world who downloads and uses Koha can have the option of using these templates.
