Books, good option for managing personal libraries (although less glamorous than Delicious Library)

136095636_1e5009c82a.jpg

Books is a complete personal Library manager, a free option to paid software Delicious Library.

The main difference between the two lies in the graphical interface, one of Delicious Library's greatest and strongest attractions.

Books has less of a visual impact, but it has something to make up for it.

  • Possibility of accessing different databases of Libraries around the world (from Amazon, through the Polish Library, that of the EEEU congress to that of the Complutense University of Madrid).
  • Integration with iSight to be able to read ISBNs and autocomplete fields.
  • Possibility of exporting to iPod or pdf and other library manager formats.
  • Assignment of tags, rating and comments of the books.
  • Integration with Agenda and Mail to control loans.
  • Possibility of assigning custom fields.
  • Possibility of creating an internal library server for queries on the local network.
  • Possibility of exporting as a complete website, ready to publish on the internet (although some details must be polished in this aspect, it is very comfortable and easy)

In short, it is a very interesting option for personal and even medium-sized libraries.

It is free and universal | to download

    I'm looking for software like the one you describe in this post, but I can't find it. Could you share the link? I've seen it say "Download" but it doesn't have any associated link.

    Thank you very much for your work.
