This list may be interested in two articles very recently published in
a special issue of the ASIS&T Bulletin:
1. Marshall Breeding's "The Viability of Open Source ILS"
provides a balanced comparison between open source software
integrated library systems and closed source software
integrated library systems. It is a survey of the current
landscape. [1]
2. Bob Molyneux's "Evergreen in Context" is a case study
of one particular integrated library system, and it is a
good example of the open source adage "scratching an itch."
[2]
Food for thought and discussion. FYI.
