Not all of the features are available 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.
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.
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: 
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!
