Not all of the features are availably for every library.
Supports web catalogues of different library system vendors, see our website or wiki for details.
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.
We'd like to invite you to contribute to our project, e.g. by improving the user interface or adding support for new libraries. Checking out the project with Android Studio should be fairly straightforward, but we also got 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 hestitate to ask us anytime at info@opacapp.de.
Please note that we have a Code of Conduct in place that applies to all project-related communication.
