PhpMyBibli

PhpMyBibli is an open-source library management system written in PHP that runs on a typical LAMP stack. It provides a web-based interface for libraries to manage catalogs, patrons, and circulation tasks. The software targets small to mid-sized libraries, such as schools, community centers, and private collections.

Key features include catalog management for bibliographic records with related metadata, patron registration and authentication, circulation functions (checkouts, returns, renewals), fines and payments, holds and reservations, and basic reporting. It supports barcode-based transactions, flexible search across the catalog, and export/import of catalog data in common formats. The system also offers role-based access control and multilingual user interfaces.

PhpMyBibli is built with PHP and stores data in MySQL or MariaDB. It is designed to run on common web servers such as Apache or Nginx and emphasizes a modular structure that can be customized by administrators. Installation typically involves creating a database, configuring connection settings, and running a setup routine, after which libraries can tailor fields, layouts, and workflows to their needs.

Developed as an open-source project, PhpMyBibli is maintained by a community of volunteers. Activity and release cadence vary, with updates published through the project's repository and distribution channels. The software is distributed under an open-source license, and users should consult the repository for current status and licensing details.
