Note: The budget is tight as the requirement is for our one of the clients i.e. a not-for-profit voluntary scientific organization. We are open to suggestions for altering the project for the better suitability. Aim: To provide access of the library content such as books and videos to members of the not-for-profit voluntary scientific organization via Internet. Objective: With the help of this facility the members of the organization can access vast library of the organization from the comfort of their home or institution for their research, reference and study purpose. This will not only save time but most importantly to staggering cost to own a technical reference book/s. Technical Overview: The proposed project is to develop software on possible platform of either Java or C# or VB or .NET on front end with backend on MySQL. The software shall be divided and designed in two parts. First part Client Software, and second part on server with operating software such as Linux. The Client Software should be operatable on systems with Windows XP, MAC and Linux.

Optional: - Integration of third party API for SMS gateway. - Integration of third party API for VoIP gateway. - Integration of third party API for FAXoIP gateway.
