CIL2008: The Open Source Landscape (RSS4Lib)

  • Open Source Discovery Products (i.e, Next Generation Catalogs)



    - VUFind. Apache Solr/Lucene.



    - eXtensible Catalog (Mellon funded). Not a product now, but will be one day. XC are currently seeking institutional participation. This will "probably become a player" in the coming years.



    - Others, such as Fac-Bac-OPAC, Scriblio (formerly WPopac).

  • Shifting from open source being risky to open source being mainstream. Medium-sized public libraries are going with open source solutions for catalog; it no long requires massive technological effort or as much risk as it did.

The Top 80 Charities for Open Source and Open Access Advocates

  • Education Program for Gifted Youth: Stanford University’s EPGY invites gifted students from around the world to participate in an “individualized educational experience” that offers courses in subjects like computer science.
    • Creative Commons: This nonprofit combines the idealistic views of pure information sharing with secure but privatized creative data. Creative Commons uses “private rights to create public goods” by allowing designers, developers and artists to license their work while making it accessible to the public.

The Code4Lib Journal - COLUMN: 700 Dollars and a Dream : Take a Chance on Koha, There’s Very Little to Lose

  • We’re mostly done with bibliographic input now—we’ve got just over 7,000 items catalogued of about 8,500. Our Patrons are in the database. We could circulate now if we wanted to. We’ve tested the basic features that we need and they work well enough for our purposes. When we started out, we were looking for the barest minimum of functionality. We got a whole lot more than we bargained for.
  • Koha is far more reliable than many commercial ILS options. This was certainly a factor with me. It seemed as though things would be down every other month for a few days of unscheduled time with a few of the commercial products I’ve had the displeasure of experiencing. Our server has been down twice in about 3 years of testing, with the box running 24/7. Once was when my roommate inadvertently unplugged the server to charge his mobile phone. The second time was a catastrophic hardware failure. The power supply essentially caught fire. I was terribly worried my data was toast. It wasn’t. I had backups, but I didn’t need to use them.
