# LibrarySystem

universal library system for facilities in the university. Currently hard-coded for the Library of the University of Education in Freiburg, Germany, but can be adapted to fit other libraries as long as the catalogue has a suitable format, or an open API

Other Libraries can be supported by rewriting the catalog and it's corresponding functions.

## What is this?

This is a library system for the different facilities in our university. Because some facilities lend their media, some wanted a software that allows them to keep track of who had what when.
