list8D is a project funded by JISC and the University of Kent to provide an out of the box solution for reading lists. A while ago a bunch of us went up to dev8D, a rapid development event hosted by JISC, where we had 2 days to throw together a prototype of a solution to a user problem. We quickly realised that a lot institutions had pretty poor system for handling reading lists and throw something together with symfony. Our prototype won the event and went down so well we went on to get funding and are now developing it into a open source project.
The project is a way off a final release but we will be releasing our initial code very soon. I knocked up this concept, we’re not really at the design stage yet so these are likely to change a lot, but I had some ideas and I wanted to get them down.
You can find out more on the project blog.
