Open Source


A very interesting looking book is now available from LITA, Open Source Software for Libraries
This guide introduces the reader to OSS and how it could benefit libraries, and illustrates this with a variety of library projects that have both used and developed Open Source Software. Includes practical information on installation of the software and links to additional resources.
One of the chapters is "Managing MARC with Open Source Software" by Kevin Clarke.
