Electronic Catalogs and Bibliographies
Most of our cataloging is done on the computer, and we make all our work available to you electronically, either as a complete electronic catalog or bibliography, or as a file that can be opened in an appropriate program.
Using the open source Koha Integrated Library System C & P Bibliography Services is able to offer to private collectors an online catalog with all the power and functionality of a library catalog. In fact, Koha was originally developed for libraries, based on internationally-accepted standards for bibliographic data. Because Koha is open source, in addition to its large feature set, it offers more flexibility than most online catalogs. If you want your catalog to behave a certain way, we at C & P will see to it that it does. We have a demo of what a Koha catalogue might look like available at demo.cplibraries.com. Loaded into the demo are the records from Project Gutenberg (for more information, see the Project Gutenberg website), and the Abdul Hamid, Tiflis, and Yahuda Collections from the Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan project.
Although C & P Bibliography Services specializes in Koha for its online catalogs, there are other options, including the following:
- Aigaion, an open source reference management system
- Refbase, an open source institutional repository and reference management system
- WIKINDX, an open source "virtual research environment"
- Zotero, an open source "personal research assistant"
