Open Source in Libraries
by eby
Open-souce software is a big thing at AADL and it is becoming a hot item in libraries in general, especially as more and more want control over their future. I had the pleasure of contributing a chapter to a recent Library Technology Report. While you may have trouble finding a copy of the report itself (I still haven't seen the final product) you can see the information I compiled on the code4lib trac wiki. I retained the copyright so the information you see is the same I included in the chapter. I still need to go through and update things as it is a constantly evolving area but it should give you an idea of the wide range of projects that are out there. Big thanks goes out to all the code4lib'ers who helped me track down information on the projects.
