AB: Abstract
Social media tools such as blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and FriendFeed
continue to grow in popularity as a means to connect with friends,
family, and other people around the world. Social networking on the
Internet blur the lines between the personal and professional, with
potential implications for organizations. For example, when employees
post about work, what they write may impact their company's
reputation. Indeed, there have been some high-profile cases of workers
whose use of social media has caused trouble both to themselves and
their employers. It is therefore important for organizations,
including libraries, to consider drafting a policy that provides clear
guidelines for official or personal use of social media by employees.

What Librarians Still Don't Know about Free Software

Open source software; Libraries
AB: Abstract
Koha and Evergreen are free software tools that are popular not only
in the United States but also in many other countries. The two
companies offering leading support for each of these solutions are
growing and thriving, employing well-regarded librarians in full-time
"community manager" roles in order to dispel stereotypes about free
software and help move potential clients toward potential sales.
Librarians must remember that free software is not about cost, hype,
or taking business away from vendors. Rather, it represents four
different kinds of freedom: freedom to use the software for any
purpose, freedom to study how the software works, freedom to modify
the software to adapt it to one's needs, and freedom to copy and share
copies of the software, with or without any changes one might make to
it. Adapted from the source document.

AB: Abstract
Purpose -- The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss key
issues related to the adoption of open source software (OSS) in
Pakistani libraries. Design/methodology/approach -- Literature review
and principal author's first-hand experience of Koha (OSS)
implementation in Provincial Assembly Libraries of Pakistan under
Pakistan Legislative Strengthen Project of United States Agency for
International Development provide the information and insight for this
paper. Findings -- Adoption of OSS in libraries is just at a beginning
stage in Pakistan, and only a few organizations have so far made their
first move in this direction. The major identified issues affecting
OSS adoption in Pakistani libraries are: social (cultural) disparity,
conceptual confusions, digital divide, lack of technological,
financial, and human development. Practical implications -- The paper
will help decision makers plan OSS applications in their libraries.
Originality/value -- This is the first paper on the topic in Pakistan
and explores the issues involved in OSS adoption in a comprehensive
manner. The paper can provide understanding regarding adoption of OSS
to professionals in Pakistani and other developing countries with
similar environment. Adapted from the source document.

Open source meets turnkey: Koha for software, LibLime for support.

Open source software; Libraries; LibLime
AB: Abstract
Open source software, from desktop applications to library wide
Integrated Library System (ILS) software, has been a hot topic of
conversation lately. Increasingly libraries are looking to open source
solutions to meet the evolving needs of library patrons. One of the
often quoted disadvantages of open source is the lack of support. In
the past, there were no vendors that could offer support, so libraries
had to rely on in house technicians or a crowd of very helpful but
sometimes unavailable volunteers. Today, libraries can choose open
source and enjoy the benefits of full support and turnkey hosting for
open source ILSs. In the US, libraries currently have two options:
LibLime, which supports the open source products Koha and Evergreen,
and Equinox, which supports Evergreen only. This paper takes a look at
LibLime, primarily their Koha and Koha ZOOM offerings. Adapted from

Open source software; Hospital libraries; Implementation; UK
AB: Abstract
Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to describe the selection process
and criteria that led to the implementation of the Koha 3.0 library
management system (LMS) at the Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Library and Information Service (CAMLIS), Royal London Homoeopathic
Hospital. Design/methodology/approach-The paper is a report based on
internal documentation. Findings-Koha 3.0 was selected because the GNU
licence (open source) was considered more future-proof than
proprietary products, and more open to customisation to meet the
special needs of the library. Research limitations/implications-The
library is still in the early stages of the LMS implementation. How
far the Koha LMS implementation has met the library's needs will only
become clear after at least one year's use. Practical implications-The
conclusions drawn from this report relate to the concept of
implementing an open source LMS. The author will report on the
completed implementation in a year's time. Originality/value-This is
amongst the first implementations of Koha in the UK. Experience and
conclusions from this installation might influence decisions at other
libraries. Adapted from the source document.

AB: Abstract
Koha is an open source software that libraries started using around
2005. Many of the libraries attracted to it were in countries where
automation was limited to the largest academic institutions. Smaller
colleges, universities, and public schools began giving Koha serious
consideration. There was a corresponding increase in interest among
public, school, and special libraries in the United States and Canada.
In addition to Koha, Evergreen is a functional open source circulation
and cataloging system that the provincial libraries in British
Columbia are planning to adopt. Both Evergreen and Koha are potential
resources for librarians in the behavioral and social sciences field.

AB: Abstract
The Library 2.0 movement emerged as a response to the technologies and
concepts in the Web 2.0 movement and has been taking the library world
by storm. Web 2.0 takes the stagnant Web 1.0 and makes it more
user-driven, collaborative, participatory, and personalized. Library
2.0 takes the tools of Web 2.0 and moves them into a library setting
with libraries that are user-centered, networking faculty, students,
and librarians to create a vital and evolving organization designed to
meet the needs of the current information culture. Library 2.0 is
especially relevant to institutions providing services to off-campus
students. Many students taking courses remotely have full-time jobs
and busy lives beyond their coursework. Providing those students with
a customizable, personalized, and collaborative library assists in
their success as a student. Using Web 2.0 technologies and other
social networking tools in the library setting brings the library to
our users, making them more relevant in today's information society.

AB: Abstract
Online Public Library Catalogues (OPACs) are widely used electronic
library catalogues giving a wealth of remote access to library
information resources. Users should be involved early in the OPAC
development cycle process in order to ensure a usable and functional
interface, as the integration of user-defined requirements of OPAC5,
along with the other human-computer interaction considerations, offer
a better understanding of user perceptions and expectations in respect
of OPACs, ultimately resulting in truly user-centred OPACs.
Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to establish user
suggestions for a typical OPAC application's functionality and
features. To this end, an experiment was undertaken to find out the
type of interaction features that users prefer to have in an OPAC. The
study revealed that regardless of users' Information Technology (IT)
backgrounds, their functionality expectations of OPACs are the same as
users are expecting OPACs to facilitate easier ways to achieve their
tasks. However, based on users' previous experiences with OPACs, their
requirements with respect to specific features may change. [Copyright

It is based on the reasonably priced, state-of-the-art, smart and cool
Aquabrowser software. E-LIS is the relatively small but steadily
growing open access, self-archiving repository of research papers
related to library and information science (LIS) and technology. As an
open archive, it covers all fields of LIS from the theoretical to the
highly practical, from school libraries to national libraries, from
rare books to electronic books, all reflected in the excellent
classified subject index. The digital library of Haworth Press is as

AB: Abstract
Purpose -- The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of
a knowledgebase supporting a prototype Europe-wide time-spatial search
interface for historical resources. It discusses how this structure
could be used to access other types of digital heritage content.
Design/methodology/approach -- By using a relational database with
spatial capabilities, a multi-lingual search structure has been
created which supports a temporal map and a facetted browser,
collaborative facilities and a heritage resource viewer, with links to
online catalogues. Findings -- Combining data from three states with
very different histories identified the strengths and weaknesses of
the approach. The framework's flexibility means it could easily be
re-purposed to support front ends to other types of cultural content.
Research limitations/implications -- Due to the variability in the
administrative unit source data, its initial integration required
significant manipulation to achieve consistency; however, the benefits
of data assimilation ensure the base framework is as efficient as
possible. Practical implications -- Usage levels of on-line cultural
resources will be far higher if ordinary users can access them via
access routes which have meaning for them, such as by locality/place.
Ontology-based geographical frameworks are much easier to search by
place name than are conventional GIS systems, and vastly more
accessible to search engines. Originality/value -- This interface
demonstrates the potential for integrating data from any number of
different national organisations into a single user tool. It also
highlights the potential for utilising the underlying structure in
multiple contexts. Adapted from the source document.

AB: Abstract
Stephen Abram, Vice President of Innovation at SyrsiDynix, has argued
that completely open source projects rarely succeed and that the total
cost of ownership can be higher with open source due to the cost of
switching systems and system compatability. He added that open source
solutions are less reliable, less scalable, and require more expertise
to implement. Abram's comments were part of a white paper and may have
actually helped in legitimizing the role of open source software in
libraries instead of downplaying its importance. Indeed, the white
paper revealed that open source integrated library systems pose a
threat to the vendor-based market. Not surprisingly, open source
advocates in the library community have rejected Abram's views,
claiming that he was often incorrect, or at times even blatantly
misleading, in his assessment of open source software. Adapted from

AB: Abstract
Open source integrated library systems (ILSs) have the potential to
give libraries more control over their software compared to
proprietary products. Vendors are trying to come up with proprietary
solutions that offer more flexibility, openness, and interoperability
through web services and other application programming interfaces
(APIs). Library automation alternative vendors are now racing to open
up software and allow libraries more access to their data and internal
functionality, a trend that can benefit libraries. Libraries can use
APIs to create functionality that fills in the gaps between the system
as delivered and their specialized requirements. A survey shows that
there are no significant differences between the claims made by
vendors for opening up their systems through APIs and the capabilities
that come with the products they offer. Although many ILS products
offer extensive APIs, no product meets the ideal of comprehensive
access to data and functionality through an open API. Adapted from the

development of the ERM, the university library struggled to manage
their 200-plus electronic resources and relied on disparate means of
managing some e-resource data (including static web pages,
spreadsheets, email, and manila file folders). The library also did
not have an organizational structure for other data, with no single
place to enter and efficiently access e-resource information. The new
ERM system, dubbed ERMes, addressed all these problems. The latest
version features a completely new and more intuitive interface, plus
two means of entering use statistics (manually or importing COUNTER

The study adopted quantitative research design and a Likert type scale
of 20 items was designed to collect data. Attention was given to three
variables -- organization type (public/private sector), library type
(academic/public/special), and country type (developed/developing). A
total of 370 responses were received from 48 countries. Collected data
were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-Test,
and ANOVA. The overall results suggested that respondents had positive
perceptions towards OSS. However the results of t-Test and ANOVA
indicated that organization type or library type were insignificant
factors but country type was a significant factor as respondents from
developed countries has significant difference of perceptions in
comparison with the respondents from developing countries. This study
is first of its kind in the world. The findings are useful for LIS

different kinds of freedom: freedom to use the software for any
purpose, freedom to study how the software works, freedom to modify
the software to adapt it to one's needs, and freedom to copy and share

International Development provide the information and insight for this
paper. Findings -- Adoption of OSS in libraries is just at a beginning
stage in Pakistan, and only a few organizations have so far made their
first move in this direction. The major identified issues affecting
OSS adoption in Pakistani libraries are: social (cultural) disparity,
conceptual confusions, digital divide, lack of technological,
financial, and human development. Practical implications -- The paper
will help decision makers plan OSS applications in their libraries.
Originality/value -- This is the first paper on the topic in Pakistan
and explores the issues involved in OSS adoption in a comprehensive
manner. The paper can provide understanding regarding adoption of OSS
to professionals in Pakistani and other developing countries with

Design/methodology/approach -- Following a description of the current
state of integrated library systems (ILS) and the developments with
Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 technologies, examples are given of library
suppliers and libraries which are making use of these technologies.
Findings -- Libraries are moving away from the traditional,
vendor-sourced library catalogue software in favour of open source
software that can be tailored to meet the community's needs by the
people who are most familiar with those needs: library staff. Open
source products and some vendor products outside the traditional ILS
market allow libraries to pool data created by users: tags, reviews,
comments. This allows the smallest libraries to harvest richer data
than those of their own communities. Originality/value -- The paper
provides a "snapshot" of current developments in this fast-moving
area. Adapted from the source document.

AB: Abstract
Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania possesses
an extensive and unique collection of German Frakturschriften
(Fraktur, which means broken or fractured lettering in Latin). Within
Pennsylvania's German tradition, Fraktur represents a wide range of
printed and hand-colored documents that chronicle births and baptisms,
marriages, house blessings, bookplates, drawings, and writing samples.
These materials were produced and inscribed from the mid-18th to the
mid-19th century by local schoolteachers, clergymen, and itinerant
artists. This article describes how the Archives & Special
Collections of Franklin & Marshall College embarked on a project
to digitize its German Fraktur using the open source alternative of
DSpace. Adapted from the source document.

Modular Management: Using Drupal to Create a Dynamic CMS

American Libraries, vol. 39, no. 8, pp. 48, Sept 2008
DE: Descriptors
Web content management; Open source software; School libraries
AB: Abstract
Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS) that offers a
wide range of enhancements through a customizable module system. There
are already many free library modules available for download from
Drupal.org, including tools for working with MARC records, collecting
book reviews from users, and interacting with library catalogs. By
combining these modules with additional custom coding, a new library
portal was created at Fish4Info.org for the member libraries of the
Genesee Valley Board of Cooperative Educational Services region in New
York. The other major feature of a CMS like Drupal is that it allows
the creation of dynamic sites that can be managed in a distributed
fashion. Since all of the content on a Drupal site is as an entry in a
MySQL database, adding a new story or changing content is handled
through a simple Web form. Adapted from the source document.

The Duke University Libraries has received a 475,700 dollar grant from
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for the design of a next-generation,
open-source library system that is flexible and customizable enough to
meet the needs of libraries and library users in the twenty-first
century. The goal of the Open Library Environment (OLE) Project is to
develop a design document for library automation technology built on
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), fits the work flows of the modern
library, and is an alternative to commercial integrated library system
products. It is expected to be a blueprint to inform open-source
library system development efforts, to guide future library system
implementation, and to influence current integrated library system
vendor products. Adapted from the source document.

AB: Abstract
In 2007, the University of West Florida Department of Digital and
Learning Technologies was charged with the task of rapidly developing
a digital image library focusing on the university's upcoming 40th
anniversary. This project was to highlight a spectrum of the
university's archival holdings with special attention to images and
linking to them permanently from the libraries' Web site and
University Special Collections and Archives. Because of the limited
timeline available to complete the project, as well as budgetary
concerns, instead of utilizing cost-prohibitive,
human-resource-intensive or institutional vendor digital library
models, an agile open source rapid application methodology was
proposed. The possibilities of radically repurposing Web 2.0 weblog
software would be exploited to take advantage of new affordances.

AB: Abstract
In this article the CDS/ISIS software will be discussed as a
"predecessor" to the "Free and Open Source" (FOSS) software
development movement which is currently gaining importance, also in
the library and documentation field. Even though the full adherence of
ISIS to this movement is of recent date, we will illustrate how from
its beginning -- which is very long ago in computer science traditions
-- the software had concepts of being "free" and even "open" by
referring to several technical elements and aspects in this sense.
Therefore it is claimed that the software has always been "free and
open" but only recently fully moved to the "free and open-source"
type. Some experiences in teaching students and training system
managers on the software will be discussed in the light of this
specific context of being "open software." Finally, the current "FOSS"
ISIS-projects are briefly described as they will define the software's
future, with a call to the wider community to contribute, in order to
make ISIS a real FOSS project. Adapted from the source document.

Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is a national priority in South
Africa, and is increasingly recognized as a means to achieve quality,
lower costs, create agility and foster innovation. All of these are
things libraries need to accomplish, so a survey of the FOSS tools
available to support library functions or the role of librarians is
provided. There are FOSS tools to support nearly everything that
happens in a Library, from personal productivity to library
information management. Many of them have versions that run on
proprietary operating systems or are web based and so cross platform
by nature, making them easy to experiment with even on proprietary
operating systems. This paper provides a brief overview of some of the
FOSS tools that are available to libraries. Adapted from the source

The pioneering days of the Internet established an enduring cultural
shift in computing, which is best revealed in the open source
computing movement. Information professionals have been heavily
involved in that movement from its earliest days. The open source
movement, according to Wikipedia, was in the works as early as 1987.
Its advocates have tried to develop 'social institutions' (that is,
effective governance and standards) that can ensure orderly
development and preserve the power of creativity and collaboration.
The open source movement has been good for libraries because all of a
sudden their cooperative practices seem like brilliant examples. Many
of the principles that govern the open source community were already
envisioned and implemented by the library profession for different
purposes. Adapted from the source document.

AB: Abstract
Open source software, from desktop applications to library wide
Integrated Library System (ILS) software, has been a hot topic of
conversation lately. Increasingly libraries are looking to open source
solutions to meet the evolving needs of library patrons. One of the
often quoted disadvantages of open source is the lack of support. In
the past, there were no vendors that could offer support, so libraries
had to rely on in house technicians or a crowd of very helpful but
sometimes unavailable volunteers. Today, libraries can choose open
source and enjoy the benefits of full support and turnkey hosting for
open source ILSs. In the US, libraries currently have two options:
LibLime, which supports the open source products Koha and Evergreen,
and Equinox, which supports Evergreen only. This paper takes a look at
LibLime, primarily their Koha and Koha ZOOM offerings. Adapted from

licence (open source) was considered more future-proof than
proprietary products, and more open to customisation to meet the
special needs of the library. Research limitations/implications-The
library is still in the early stages of the LMS implementation. How
far the Koha LMS implementation has met the library's needs will only
become clear after at least one year's use. Practical implications-The
conclusions drawn from this report relate to the concept of
implementing an open source LMS. The author will report on the

the presence of a fully functional circulation system, a robust

Koha is an open source software that libraries started using around
2005. Many of the libraries attracted to it were in countries where
automation was limited to the largest academic institutions. Smaller
colleges, universities, and public schools began giving Koha serious
consideration. There was a corresponding increase in interest among
public, school, and special libraries in the United States and Canada.
In addition to Koha, Evergreen is a functional open source circulation
and cataloging system that the provincial libraries in British
Columbia are planning to adopt. Both Evergreen and Koha are potential
resources for librarians in the behavioral and social sciences field.
