LITA Open Source Software Program at ALA



Saturday, July 8, 2000, 2:30-5:30
 
Join LITA's Open Source Systems Interest Group for its program,
 
"Practical Solutions for Libraries: Open Source Software"
 
Learn how and why libraries are thinking outside the box and developing
their own services from within, using the Open Source model. Libraries are
primed not only to use Open Source to their advantage in the future, but are
currently using it to enhance Reference services and Reserves services. This
program will present current projects using Open Source software in
libraries: OSCR (Open Source Course Reserves), Jake (Jointly Administered
Knowledge Environment), and Avanti, an evolving Open Source Integrated
Library System. The program will conclude with a broad view of Open Source
by Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly & Associates. See what Open Source software can
do for your library and why it is of importance to the profession.
