OpenBiblio Home Edition is a slightly modified version of the open source library system OpenBiblio, tuned for keeping track of books in a home or small office. This mod adds support for book cover images and fields for alternate title text and storage location. The mod is based on version 0.6.1.
How to add book cover image:
- First you have to add ISBN for each book. If the book doesn’t have ISBN then make something up. The field can have text as well as numbers.
- Scan the book cover and save the file using the ISBN as the filename, for example 9789740658047.jpg. The image must be jpg. It can be any size but will be resized a fixed height of 300 pixels when shown in the book detail page. Put the image in /images inside your openbiblio directory.
- Additionally, create a thumbnail version of the book cover and place it in /images/thumbnails. It can be any size but will be fixed to a height of 100 pixels when shown in the search results.

Thanks! Great project!
Thanks!
Can you tell me.
How to export data to MARC ?
You cannot export MARC, only import. Further documentation here:
http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/index.php/Main/Documentation
Also, you should not use the Home Edition with real library records, much less MARC-formatted ones. This is because some important fields, such as call number, have been repurposed in Home Edition to hold other data. Try the original OpenBiblio instead.
The Home Edition is intended to be used by non-librarian home/office users who have not been educated in library concepts such as call numbers, so ISBN, book cover, and manual storage location are more important to them as a way to store and locate books. The interface in Home Edition has been modified to reflect this.
Also, if you regularly rely on MARC transmission, please consider Koha instead. OpenBiblio’s support for MARC has not matured yet.
Visite a nova página do Openbiblio em Portugues, feita pelos mesmos membros que traduziram para pt-br a versão 0.4! Agora, todos os erros de códigos depreciados “deprecated” foram atualizados e a tradução para pt_br foi revisada, rodando perfeitamente no PHP5.
Novas versões dos Manuais de Instalação (para Windows e para Linux) e de utilização no dia-a-dia, além da listagem das bibliotecas que utilizam o Openbiblio no Brasil.

Glad to hear that there are people out there making OpenBiblio compatible with PHP5. It’s too bad that the official site has not been updated for years.
Hi Mizst,
It’s nice to find this OpenbiblioHE. If I were know it months ago. I once had a project with openbiblio in livecd, puppylib based on Puppy Linux. Now I build another, name Degex with slims (senayan library and management system).
I have not used Koha before, but it’s time for me to play with your KOHA livecd. Thanks, Mizst.
