The open source software movement has entered the library automation industry. This Library Technology Report is an overview of this new aspect of the library automation industry and provides detailed information about the major open source integrated library systems and the companies that support them. In this issue, Marshall Breeding details the differences between using an open source approach to that of using conventional proprietary software for automated operations. Breeding's report can help answer that question as well as defines open source and provides an overview of the various open source options currently available to libraries, including Koha and Evergreen.
