Open Source


The Open Source Software and Libraries Bibliography compiled by Brenda Chawner "includes announcements, journal articles, and web documents that are about open source software development in libraries. It also includes articles that describe specific open source applications used in libraries, in particular Koha, Greenstone, and MyLibrary." The bibliography is also available as an EndNote library. That's a nice touch.

Thanks to Matthew Eberle at Library Techlog for bringing this to my attention.
