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. -

INTRODUCTION: The free software movement was launched in 1983. In 1998, a group of individuals advocated that the term free software be replaced by open source software (OSS) as an expression which is less ambiguous and more comfortable for the corporate world. Software developers may want to publish their software with an open source license, so that anybody may also develop the same software or understand how it works. Open source software generally allows anyone to make a new version of the software, port it to new operating systems and processor architectures, share it with others or market it.
