Virtual Library |
| Description |
The Virtual Library (VL) is a web application designed to facilitate
peer-to-peer sharing of books (and other media, soon) among groups of
people who are located in relatively close physical proximity
(e.g. a group of co-workers who work in the same location or a group of
students in the same campus). Readers register and contribute books to
the library, which may be requested by other readers at any time.
Requests for books trigger emails to "current possessors" asking them to
drop books off with the administrator (who effectively maintains a
"cache" of books awaiting pickup). Checkin and checkout operations
are performed by the administrator. Book search and status functions
enable users to find books and/or book locations. |
