Support

Supports web catalogues of different library system vendors, see our website or wiki for details.

Java Library (libopac)

The underlying code that the app uses to connect to the different supported OPAC software systems and parse data from them is available as a separate library called libopac. It can also be used in ordinary Java projects because it does not depend on Android APIs. More information about the library can be found in its own README file.

Library configuration files

The JSON configuration files for each library previously located in the opacclient/opacapp/src/main/assets/bibs directory were recently removed from the repository and can be downloaded from our server. For more information about this, see here.

Contributing

We'd like to invite you to contribute to our project, e.g. by improving the user interface or adding support for new libraries. Additionally, you could help to extend our test suite to increase this number: Coverage Status 😉.

Checking out the project with Android Studio should be fairly straightforward, but we also have a little bit of information in the project wiki. Contributions are best submitted via GitHub pull requests.

If you get stuck anywhere in the process, please do not hesitate to create a draft pull request and ask us there!

Please note that we have a Code of Conduct in place that applies to all project-related communication.
