What’s Libro?
“Libro” (‘book’ in Esperanto and Italian) is one of my current projects.
“Libro” is a software designed to record and manage book collections and provides tool for different sorts of researches in the resulting catalogue.
A software like “Libro” implies a number of advanced features.
Currently, Libro is designed to provide a number of functions based on the use of the Dewey decimal, but the software works equally well if the user decides not to use these features.
