Library review. 59(2010) no.9, S.655-661

Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of open source to a non-technical audience and give an overview of its current and potential applications in libraries. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is based on a literature review. Findings - Open source already aids libraries and has great potential but is hobbled by its intrinsically technical appeal. Originality/value - The paper makes observations about information technology trends which might affect the take up of open source and introduces open source comprehensively but succinctly.
