Open Source Workshop
I've just registered to hear Eric Lease Morgan present the workshop Open Source Software in Libraries. Looking forward to this.
This workshop will provide structured opportunities for participants to experience how open source software can be used to implement many library-specific processes using open source software. Processes such as reading and writing MARC records, creating and maintaining databases, providing user-friendly interfaces to indexed content, hosting a World Wide Web server, and most importantly, bringing all of these processes together to providing meaningful library collections and services.
