Installation of OpenBiblio using EasyPHP

OpenBiblio is an easy to use, open source automated library system written in PHP licensed under GNU General Public License (GPL). It has essential functional modules like OPAC, circulation, cataloging, and staff administration only, therefore suitable for the automation of libraries with small collection. Features of OpenBiblio are easy installation procedures, simple and neat user interface. It supports MARC importing and advanced features are still under development. You can find more about OpenBiblio here http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/ . Software requirements for OpenBiblio are MySQL database, Apache web server and PHP programming language. Normal installation and maintenance of database and web server may feel difficult to common people. I hope this document can ease the installation of OpenBiblio in Windows environment.

TextCite-1.0.2

"TextCite is a program for organizing and commenting textual citations from texts (books, articles, or other published works) for use in producing scientific or academic publications. You can organize by publication, author, category, or outline. It works with bibliographic management programs like Citation, EndNote, RefWorks, and BibTeX, providing important text/citation management capabilities that these programs lack, while still allowing for rapid footnote and bibliography generation by means of your favorite bibliography manager. It also exports to PDF and Word (RTF)."
