A useful report from Dick Boss from December 2008 —

“Open Source’ Integrated Library System Software”

A number of public libraries have been investigating “open source” integrated
library system software. However, the percentage of libraries that would seriously
consider implementing an open source ILS is still small, approximately three percent in a
survey of 80 North American libraries conducted by the author in October of 2008.
Marshall Breeding of the Vanderbilt University Libraries came up with a similar figure
in a much larger international survey in late 2007 (www.librarytechnology.org).
