  • A Virtual Exhibition of Open Source Software for Libraries
    Open Access: This text is available at: http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/conferences/bobcatsss2008/ A Virtual Exhibition of Open Source Software for Libraries Josep Manel Rodríguez Gairin* , Patricia Russo Gallo** and Andreu Sulé Duesa*** *[email protected],**[email protected] School of Library and Information Science, University of Barcelona, http://www.ub.edu/biblio ***[email protected] Open Source Software for Information Professionals Working Group, Official College of Librarians and Information Professionals of Catalonia, http://www.soft-libre.net Abstract Frequently the choice of a library management program is conditioned by social, economic and/or political factors that result in the selection of a system that is not altogether suitable for the library’s needs, characteristics and functions. Open source software is quickly becoming a preferred solution, owing to the freedom to copy, modify and distribute it and the freedom from contracts, as well as for greater opportunities for interoperability with other applications. These new trends regarding open source software in libraries are also reflected in LIS studies, as evidenced by the different courses addressing automated programs, repository management, including the Linux/GNU operating system, among others. The combination of the needs of the centres and the new trends for open source software is the focus of a virtual laboratory for the use of open source software for library applications. It was the result of a project, whose aim was to make a useful contribution to the library community, that was carried out by a group of professors of the School of Library and Information Science of the University of Barcelona, together with a group of students, members of a Working Group on Open Source Software for Information Professionals, of the Professional Library Association of Catalonia.

  • Eight Things You Should Know About Open Source Integrated Library Systems
    1 Eight Things you should Know about Open Source Integrated Library Systems. Vimal Kumar V. 1 and Thomas Abraham 2 1 Asst. Librarian Asian School of Business Technopark, Trivandrum-695581 [email protected] 2 Open Knowledge Society [email protected] Abstract: Open source library management systems are free alternative to costly commercial library systems. It helps to automate library functions and give a tremendous savings on library automation expenses. User’s participation in all stages of software project ensures the development of the features that the library really wants. Lack of awareness and knowledge in open source technology among library professionals restrict wide adoption of open source library management system. This article gives an insight into the use and maintenance of open source library management systems. Key words: open source, library management system, library automation Introduction investment. Principles and practices of open source software are very similar to the principles and practices of modern librarianship. Both value free and equal access to data, Open source is becoming a trend setter in libraries. Lots of information and knowledge. Both strive to promote human open source softwares are available for various automation understanding and to make our lives better. Both make effort purposes in libraries. Open source digital library and to improve society as a whole [1]. institutional repository softwares are very popular among librarians. But such softwares are mainly used to preserve and dis seminate scholarly literature and other digital content. What is open source ILS? Digital libraries and institutional repositories have relevance only in big library systems.

  • IS OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE an IMPENDING THREAT to CUSTOMIZE SOFTWARE in the FIELD of LIBRARY AUTOMATION? —Nilaranjan Barik and Rekha Singh
    552 | Transformation of Knowledge Resource Centers in Collaborative Era IS OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE AN IMPENDING THREAT TO CUSTOMIZE SOFTWARE IN THE FIELD OF LIBRARY AUTOMATION? —Nilaranjan Barik and Rekha Singh Abstract Emergence of Open Source Software is a new ray of hope in the field of library automation. It can be a gift to those libraries that have financial constraints to procure customized software to automate their libraries as per the changing demand of users and library environment. This paper discusses the concept of OSS, how it differs from commercial software which is widely available. Also discusses why and how OSS can be a threat for customized software, particularly in the area of library automation. Keywords OSS, NPL, PHP, GNU-GPL Introduction The popularity of open source software has captured the imagination of developers, library information professionals and computing enthusiasts across the globe. Open source software are available free of cost and the users have freedom to use, contribute the software without any restriction. Open source software is beginning to have a long term effect on libraries. Smaller and medium size libraries, which can not afford to buy commercial software due to high price for library automation, now have the option to explore open source library management software. The Linux operating system, Apache web server, My SQL database management system Editor: Veer & Kalbande | 553 and PHP scripting language are leading examples of freely available software that are used by LIS professionals to explore open source library management software in the field of library automation. Recently dozen of active OSS projects are engaged in development of library management systems around the world.
