LibriHost.com is another of my cloud computing ideas. I realize that I like appending ‘Host’ to the end of many of these concepts. Call it a signature of sorts.

A place for public schools to host their inventory tracking systems, this includes all of their books as well as other physical assets. Each student and staff member is input into this system. This user list can likely be imported from some other data object that exists for the school. Users can log in from anywhere to check to see if this book is available in the library or if it has been checked out.

It would contain dashboard functionality for librarians, the ability to input new inventory and equipment. Staff members and students may also update a wishlist for books they wish the library to obtain.

This application would also support the ability for students to browse reference materials from around the internet to assist them in doing their research.

Librarians would be able to upload a floor plan of their library and the application would show students where to go on the shelf to get their book.

I would like to create this and offer it to public schools at a not-for-profit price point.
