Sample library.info file

Here is an example library.info configuration file for a collection called Dictionary.

[Library]
name = Dictionary
global_name = org.logos.dictionary
long_name = children's dictionary
library_version = 1
host_version = 1
l10n = false
locale = en
category =  books
subcategory = reference
icon = library-dictionary.jpg
activity = Browse
activity_start = index.html

To create a configuration file for your own collection, follow the instructions below or use the web-based library.info file generator.

General Notes

Entries

Entries are key/value pairs in the format: Key = Value. Space before and after the equals sign is ignored; the = sign is the actual delimiter.

Multiple Values

Some keys can have multiple values. In such a case, the key is specified as a plural: for example, locales. The multiple values should each be separated by a semicolon. Keys that have multiple values must have a semicolon as the trailing character. Semicolons in these values need to be escaped using \;.

Keys and Values

The core categories are : activities, books, health, images, media, science, search

See library.info for a description of keys and values. Other optional keys include:

activity = Browse
activity_start = index.html

Browse is the only supported activity at the moment; you could change your start page, however, for instance if you were converting a collection of OCW courses to be content bundles (they name their homepage differently).
