Sorry for the delay – I just noticed that you left a comment here.

This is the only Joomla library catalog extension that I’m aware of:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/obiblioopac4j/

There has been some discussion about this topic in the Joomla in Libraries forum:
http://www.joomlainlibrary.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=9&id=334&limit=6

In our case, we built some OPAC search boxes into our Joomla site (this is easy to do) and we just link out to the library catalog.

As far as I know, there isn’t much happening in the way of developing library catalog extensions for Joomla in the same way that modules are being developed for Drupal. So, if catalog integration is important to you, you may want to look at Drupal.

Thanks for this article. Very helpful. Do you have any recommendations for integrating a library catalog into a Joomla site? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
