Any wrote a nice article, but he neglected to mention the most
feature rich, mature and widely deployed LMS and federated search
open source software.

Evergreen, Koha and OPALS-NA are three open source library management
systems.  Together they are used by many hundreds if not thousands of
libraries.

Lucene and Zebra are two very robust and sophisticated open source
indexing engines that are both widely used within proprietary as well
as open source library management systems.

Pazpar2 is open source federated search software that is currently in
use by the Library of Congress as well as a few state agencies and
university libraries, and is being tested and deployed in many other
libraries around the world.
