- I’m suggesting that, within a few years, libraries’ software expenditure distributions will have changed. Rather than paying outside companies to employ library programmers, software developers will work directly for libraries. The code will be different, it will be better, and it will be open source.

    Hopefully, this will also happen for schools, specifically with regards to the web. Rather than paying expensive vendors, it would be more effective for schools to have in-house web developers and programmers to create custom applications that meet the specific needs of a school.
- Rather than paying outside companies to employ library programmers, software developers will work directly for libraries. The code will be different, it will be better, and it will be open source. And, if library software is like other software, there’s a good chance that a lot of the code will be contributed by volunteers—people who aren’t even employed by libraries, but are interested in the problems and possibilities presented by creating software for library users and employees.

- - When commercial software vendors go out of business, they often take their software with them (unless they sell it to another company or, like Netscape, decide to release it as open source). That’s not a danger with open source software: as long as someone has a copy of the code, it remains available.
  - I’m not aware of any significant open source projects that have simply disappeared
