A catalog of the books available in the unofficial library at my university that I started.

Matfyzia Knižnička

Adding new books

1. Add the metadata to _data/books.yml

   • come up with a unique short slug for each book

   • format:

     slug:
       title: The Book's Title
       author: Some Name
       url: the book's website (not required)
       owner: your name
       why: A sentence or two explaining why you want people to read this book.

   • if necessary, add name: email to _data/owners.yml

2. (re)generate the QR codes and stick them on the books

   mkdir -p qrs && ./generate_qrcodes.py qrs  # requirements: pyyaml, pyqrcode, pypng
   for f in qrs/* ; do convert $f knizky-qrlogo.png -gravity center -composite $f.pdf ; done
    - OR -
   for f in qrs/* ; do convert $f $f.pdf ; done  # if you don't want the logo 
   pdfnup --a4paper --nup 9x6 --outfile qrs.pdf qrs/*.pdf  # or just the ones you want to print now
   lpr qrs.pdf
   #cut -d' ' qrs.pdf… ;)

3. commit, push and bring the books to the library!
