OLA (Online Library Application) is a browser-based library database for organizations with a small library (from hundreds to thousands of resources) and a small client base.

It requires PHP4 and MySQL. The features of this software are: -
Internet based
Highly graphical
Compatible with Netscape and Windows browsers
Suitable for tracking many types of resources (books, magazines, videos, music, etc.)
Can store a large amount of data about each resource
Borrowers do not have to set up an account
Stores minimal information about borrowers--just the bare essentials
Simple database export function
Template based for easy configuration/customization
Optional gzip compressed output to save on bandwidth
Although designed for small organizations, catalog should scale well to millions of entries
It also comes with a sample database to demonstrate the system in action and based on that, collection can be built.
