OpenBiblio Block 2.0 (Build: 2012050201)

Moodle 2.0, 2.1, 2.2

block_openbiblio

Purpose
-------
This block reads the OpenBiblio database and pulls out which books an in
Moodle logged-in user has borrowed and shows them with their due by date.
Moodle needs to be able to read the OpenBiblio database and needs to know
how to identify someone in that database. This data needs to be put in the block
settings page in the blocks admin menu.

Installation
------------
* Install this block as any other block by putting the entire openbiblio block
folder in your moodle/blocks folder and visit the admin page.
* You'll be prompted with the settings page.
* Add the block to a page. This block only works for logged-in users

Known problems
--------------
* If the block is presented to a user that is not logged on, you get an
errormessage. This is not a problem for me, since the block is meant to go on
the my moodle page, but it might be a problem for others.
