Dear Friends, I just created a documentation for PMB installation using Easyphp for Windows. A brief description of PMB follows, PhpMyBibli (PMB) project originated from France in 2002 by Francois Lemarchand and now oversee by a French company PMB Services. PMB has modules of circulation, acquisition, OPAC, cataloguing, serial control and an SDI (Selective dissemination of Information) system. An easy to use graphical interface for database back up, maintenance, import and export of bibliographic records between various formats is available with PMB. Using this feature librarian can maintain the daily database back up without the help of computer administrator. Other key features are UNIMARC, Z39.50, in built barcode generator, Multi language support (French, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese), import and export of bibliographic records in different formats, user friendly web interface, detailed documentation for users and administrator. PMB is written in PHP language and require Apache web server and MySQL database. Installation of PMB is comparatively easy in Linux and Windows. Wiki, mailing lists and BerliOS hosting facilities are available for communication between PMB developers and users. PMB is licensed under CeCILL, an adoption of GNU GPL harmonious with French law. Latest version of PMB (3.1.21 released in June 2008) is web 2.0, OAI compliant and ready to integrate RFID. You can access the document from here, http://www.asbindia.in/vimal/pmb/ -- Vimal Kumar V.
