Abstract:

Adopting the mediator/wrapper mode as the core technology, this paper designs an integrated framework of WeChat application and library information service. It makes use of the open source technologies of PHP, MySQL, Zend framework, jQuery Mobile and so on to implement the library’s WeChat
application interface. Choosing the system SULCMISIII as an integration example, this paper demonstrates the realization of WeChat application interface. After two years of development and debugging, the system operation is good and basically meets the library’s application needs. Through the BSD open source software license, we publish the source code on the GitHub for free sharing with peers, which is also conducive to the expansion and tailoring of system functions. We hope to provide a low-cost solution to the WeChat application for the medium and small sized libraries with limited funds.
