Patil Professor and Librarian, Symbiosis International University, Gram: Lavale Tal: Mulshi Dist: Pune Pin 412 115, ABSTRACT The present article surveys the open source library management systems and finds the present developmental state of these LMSs by studying release activity and community activity (“mailing list /discussion forum activity). A survey is carried out by using various available open source software related sources. The technical information about all these systems is collected and critically examined. Thirty-one open source LMSs are found in this survey. Out of 31 open source library management systems projects only 50% are currently in active state. This is one of the comprehensive survey covering maximum open source library management systems. Keyword : Open source software, Library management system, Integrated library system, Survey, Developmental status 1. INTRODUCTION Since the year 1999, the era of open source library management systems (LMS) has begun by the introduction of Koha, the first open source library management system. Since then, the growth of open source library management systems has flourished. Today, number of open source library management systems are available. Moreover, there has been 38 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online ) Volume 4, Issue 1, January-April 2015, pp 38-54 © IAEME continuous development in the open source library management systems. This paper attempts to make an up-to-date comprehensive survey, critically examine and find actual state of development of open source library management systems. For this purpose, detailed information about the open source library management systems has been collected and studied. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW The researcher has made extensive literature survey on the topic under present study. There are number of papers on different aspects of open source software, such as, evaluation, case study, implementation, comparison etc. However, the purpose of present research article is to focus on the notion of survey of open source library management systems and find development activity only. In order to bring rigor into argumentation, the present study is exclusively concentrated on open source LMS related research articles and the articles listing, describing and critically analyzing open source library management systems. Following are some of the studies, which are delineated as follows: Bretthauer, D. (2001) gives overview of open source software and describes open source solution for libraries at that time. Again, in 2002, Bretthauer, D. (2002) presents actual status and updates on open source software for libraries. Catherine, E. (2002) provides an overview of present state of ILS development. Breeding, M. (2002) provides the information about Koha, Learning Access ILS, and Avanti Micro LCS Integrated Library system. Boss, R. W. (2005), in his article provides criteria and on the basis this criteria he has evaluated 12 open source library management systems, such as, Avanti Micro LCS, Emilda, Evergreen, Firefly, GNUteca, Koha, Learning Access ILS, Openbiblio, PhpMyLibrary, PMB, PYTHEAS and WEBLIS. Breeding, M. (2007), in his article, provides up-to-date information about Koha Evergreen and learning access ILS, integrated library system. The author gives comprehensive information about latest developments in software since 2002. DeVoe, K. (2007) provides a brief overview of nine open source integrated library. The author also put focus on the apparent advantages of open source software over commercial software, as well as its potential disadvantages. Breeding Marshall (2008) provides thorough information on Koha, Evergreen and OPALS, New Gen Lib. He also provides information on trends in open source ILS adoption. Boss, R. W. (2008) identified 12 integrated library management systems with some current development activity underway as early 2008. Balnaves E. (2008) has evaluated seven open source library management systems, such as, Emilda, Evergreen, Gnuteca, Koba, Open Biblio, Php My Library, PMB on five dimensions like functional dimension, architecture dimension, community dimension, code dimension, and schema dimension. Breeding, M. (2009) focuses on questions regarding to what extent open source ILS products can be considered viable alternatives. He looks open source ILS viability from four perspectives: market acceptance, support options, product development and functionality, and risk factors Müller, T. (2011) has identified 20 open source integrated library systems in his article and analyzed these systems using three-step process, such as, licensing, community and functionality. Among these, only three systems such as Koha, Evergreen, PMB passed three-step process. 39 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online ) Volume 4, Issue 1, January-April 2015, pp 38-54 © IAEME Sunil M. V. and Harinarayana, N. S. (2011) has presented the requirement of Indian college libraries in integrated library system and evaluated nine open source library management softwares, such as, ABCD, Emilda, Evergreen, Koha, New Gen Lib, OPALS, Open bibilo, PMB and PhpMyLibrary against the listed criteria from college library perspective. Kamble V.T., Hans Raj and Sangeeta (2012) describe briefly about the feature of some of the open source library management softwares like Greenstone Digital Library, D Space, Koha, E-Prints, New Gen lib. PhpMyLibrary, Open Biblio, Avanti. Salve, A., Lihitkar, S. R., and Lihitkar, R. (2012) provide the information on the general and specific features of content management system and digital library software and 13 integrated library management software, such as, Koha, New Gen Lib, Evergreen, Openbiblio, OPALS, Avanti Micro LCS, ABCD, Emilda, WEBLIS, Php My Library, GNU Library Management System, BiblioteQ, Java cataloguing system. 3. OBJECTIVES The present study attempts to fulfill the following objectives: • To survey of the open source library management systems projects. • To critically examine and find their state of development by studying release activity and community activity 4. SURVEY To fulfill the first objective a survey is carried out. For survey, different sources are consulted such as Sourceforge.net (http://sourceforge.net/), FOSS4LIB (https://foss4lib.org/), GitHub (https://github.com/, OSS4Lib (http://www.oss4lib.org/), Savannah (http://savannah. gnu.org/), Library and information science literature, Free software directory etc. Detailed information about these software is collected and studied. The survey reveals that there are thirty-one open source integrated library management systems. Out of these thirty-one systems, two are e-book management systems. A detail critical analysis of each system is as follows. 5. LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 5.1 ABCD The ABCD stand for "Automatización de Bibliotecasy Centros de Documentación" (in Spanish), which means: Library and Documentation Centers Automation . Its development is promoted and coordinated by BIREME with the support of VLIR. ABCD is web-based integrated library management software. Any number of new databases can be defined in this software. It is compatible with CDS/ISIS database technology for the bibliographic databases. This Software is having acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, OPAC and serial control module. It is available in Spanish, English, French and Portuguese languages and it can be translated into other languages. (ABCD, n. d. ). There have been only five releases during September 2008 to Oct. 2014. This shows that the rate of release activity of this software is relatively slow. Presently the http://abcd.netcat.be site provides up-to-date information as well as documentation. It is found that most of the links of wiki page of ABCD are not working. 40 International Journal of Library and Information Science (IJLIS), ISSN: 2277 – 3533 (Print) ISSN: 2277 – 3584 (Online ) Volume 4, Issue 1, January-April 2015, pp 38-54 © IAEME The mailing list shows considerable activity of user community. This also shows that number of people is using this software. Overall, it can be said that user community of this project is active and the release activity is moderately slow. 5.2 Avanti Micro LCS Avanti Micro LCS is an OPAC and cataloging system. It is written entirely in Java script. It is platform independent and runs on any computer that supports Java. Its user interface provides entire Boolean search capabilities with AND, OR and NOT operators, nested searching and searching across all indexed fields. It is configured to catalogue and search up to 16,000 titles and 32,000 items (Avanti, n.d.,). This system is released under GNU General Public License. It has been designed for the use in small libraries. The source code

And what are your roles? The plan ● Introduction ● What this is, and isn't ● Why privacy? ● Laws, ethics, and policy ● Types of attacks ● A bestiary of attackers ● Evergreen as a target ● Mitigations and defense ● Recommendations ● Revisiting general principles What this workshop is ● An overview of patron privacy as a matter of law and professional ethics ● An examination of threats to patron privacy in the context of an Evergreen system ● A list of concrete steps you can take to improve how Evergreen protects your patron's privacy ● As a side benefit, an opportunity to share amongst ourselves What this workshop is not ● An overview all system security issues and concerns — a DDOS may ruin your day, but does not necessarily have implications for patron privacy ● Focused purely on technical details of Evergreen server administration — protecting patron privacy is the concern of the entire library.

These changes are reflected in the conceptual differences between the ALS and the Integrated Library System (ILS). The ALS is identified as simply a database to house and retrieve a library’s holdings while ILS is identified as robust clusters of systems involving every process and module related to library operations. This article presents a review on the evolving features of some commonly adopted Open-Source ILS Software (Koha, NewGenLib, Evergreen, PMB and OpenBiblio) which had stirred ALS to ILS, as well as justifications and barriers to the use of open source software in academic libraries.

Abstract Purpose – To investigate various issues related to Chinese language localisation in Evergreen, an open source integrated library system (ILS). Design/methodology/approach – A Simplified Chinese version of Evergreen was implemented and tested and various issues such as encoding, indexing, searching, and sorting specifically associated with Simplified Chinese language were investigated. Findings – Unicode eases a lot of ILS development problems. However, having another language version of an ILS does not simply require the translation from one language to another. Indexing, searching, sorting and other locale related issues should be tackled not only language by language, but locale by locale.
