Summary:

This e-book on open source applications in libraries, springs from a conference in London in 2009, entitled Open Libraries: Breaking the Barriers, at which a range of library management system (LMS) vendors gave presentations on how open source was seen by their company. With perspectives from both vendors and libraries, this e-book presents a balance of views on the application of open-source technologies in libraries.
