## Summary

vMaBookShelf creates a virtual bookshelf:

![virtual booksholf in action](https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/vMaBookShelf/blob/master/Doku/screens/lbs.jpg)

- creates static websites

- download covers from Amazon

- creates qr-codes with link to a proxy-server

  (reason: shorten the links in the qr-code), this proxy-server can call

  your local Primo / Opac

- includes a proxy script for connections to other web pages (eBooks ...)

- includes a Firefox Add-on "vMaBookShelfHelper" for these tasks:

  - wrap the content of other web pages in an iframe

  - create two timers:

    - timer one shows a random part of the subjects-html-files and

    - timer two closes all web pages (ebook or opac) and shows the

      virtual bookshelf again

## Installation

Mannheim University Library develops and installs the vMaBookShelf web
