I'm working on a library module, at this time the status is:

-Make categories
-Add books
-Users can submit books (like donations)
-Each book can be reserved with distinct time.
-Users can reserve a book.
-Users can add a book to their waiting list.
-Users can remove books of their waiting list.
-Users can view their reservations and waiting list.

-Admin can modify the whole waiting list.
-Admin can change if a book is reservable or not.
-Admin can verify and approve the reservations.

TODO:
-Admin can make a user reservation.
-Admin can cancel,modify and fine users.
-Auto fine users.
-Auto PM to user when book reservation is confirmed.
-Edit single user booking information.
-Some way to order the information, by user, by book name e.t.c
-System to purgue de bd.

I have a lot of work to do, some day it will be finished.

Sounds great!!! People in my volunteer organizations could certainly use this for books - could this be generalized for other items? (you don't even have the code finished and people are making requests!!!! :) )

- the distinct time for loan includes start and end dates?
- how is the user waiting list ordered? FIFO? Or, might there be other factors that give precedence to certain people?
- what contact methods are available if I loan a book, and need to contact the person who borrowed it? Are you using the users table from xoops, or your own user table?
- do you think that it might be a good idea to allow certain users to have rights to apply fines? These people would have XOOPS module administrator group rights.
- how is the project going?

You can create categories like cd's, videos e.t.c but the books form is static.

-Title
-Autor
-Category
-Editorial
-Days of reservation (0 unable to reserve)
-Identification (for personal ordering)
-Description

You can specifiy the days. If a book can be reserved for 5 days, the end date will be 5 days after admin confirmation.
Waitinglist uses FCFS order.

The module uses the users list from xoops.
If a user is administrator of the module he has privileges to modify all the waiting lists, reservations and fines.

Perhaps in future releases i'll apply groups premissions for administrators. (I don't know any module with this functions).

And yes, I'm working on it.

Sounds great

Any chance of including support for electronic books ? I know I can use the myDownloads module for this (and we don't lend them as such, we give them away), but it would still be nice to be able to organize electronic publications with fields like author, ISBN, and other publication-type things.

Good luck with it !

I started transforming the links module into the same thing but it looks like you are way ahead of me.
I'm still working on reserving books.

If you need a hand give me a buzz.
