INFOLIB Updates

Mr. Gerry O. Laroza, Head of the Computer and Audio Visual Services of the Rizal Library of Ateneo de Manila University created INFOLIB, a free library information system intended for small libraries and non-profit entities with 10,000 or less collection . Through the generosity of Mrs. Lourdes David, Director of Rizal Library, INFOLIB installer was given to libraries for free as part of their outreach program. The province of Quezon is privileged to be given this free software and be one of the pioneers in using the library system. INFOLIB update installer is now available and can be accessed through the QLA Officers.

Here's how to update INFOLIB Library Information System:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Source: Mr. Gerry Laroza

For Existing Infolib Users:

1. Backup the gldb.mdb (database) file and gl.txt file. Copy it somewhere else, to another hard
disk, or any other folder in the hard disk, to a flash drive, cdrom, etc. Just be sure, it is properly
backed-up.
2. Rename the glsystems folder to a new folder. Let’s say glsystems_orig.
3. Do the Infolib installation. It will create a new glsystems folder.
4. Copy your backed-up gldb.mdb to the new glsystems folder. It will overwrite the blank
gldb.mdb
5. Run infolibupdate.exe. It will modify the structure of your old gldb.mdb
6. Explore the updates.

Notes: Updates includes:

infolibCatAV – for cataloging AV Materials
infolibUpdate – for updating database structure
forWeb – for exporting your database into a new database (forweb.mdb) to be used on the web
InfolibOpac scripts (Windows) – you can add this to your web server together with your
forweb.mdb so that it can be searched over the web.

Special Note:

If you want to use the system over the network:
1. Share the glsystems folder (with read/write permission) in the computer that will act as
server.
Ex. You share glsystems folder in 10.13.2.1 computer
2. You should edit gl.txt and it will contain text as follows:
Server=10.13.2.1
Then Save.
