What's really cool about these sorts of articles is that they outline
processes and algorithms for such features. They are just shy of to-
do lists. If libraries where add to their staffs people who can
implement these processes and algorithms in software, then those
libraries will have less of a need for licensed software. Moreover,
those libraries would be in a better place for evaluating solutions
as they presented themselves, whether they be licensed or not
