OpenBiblio uses a special syntax called RPT for its reports, so that users do not have to learn PHP to create these reports.

Reports: Retrieve and format information from the database, including overdue letters and statistical models for the use of the library's materials.

Administration: Configuration and management of the system, including library, staff, material, fines, and website settings.

Online public access catalog (OPAC): a public catalog for patrons to find books.

Cataloguing: for staff to create, modify, or delete bibliographic records, including uploading of MARC and MARCXML records.

Circulation: for staff to check items in and out to patrons, and to add new patrons.

The Wyoming State Library's Library Development Office has developed a series of training materials for small libraries interested in implementing OpenBiblio. In addition, Colombia, Cuba and Venezuela have expressed an interest in this program, according to Werner Westerman of the Chilean Educalibre group. The system has been translated into Spanish by a professor of Castilian, and is used in the primary school system in Chile. The National Library of Armenia has recommended the use of OpenBiblio for the country's 900 small (fewer than 40,000 volumes) and rural libraries. Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico have recommended the use of the system in indigenous community libraries in Mexico, particularly because of its support of the Nahuatl language. Though the system is still under active development, it has already become widely used in small libraries and archives worldwide. After 2017, the current version with a variety of options and bugfixes was published on. The current maintainer is Hans van der Weij. Openbiblio was created in 2002 by Dave Stevens, who was interested in creating an easy-to-use, well-documented, easy-to-install library system.
