Current state of the Library Management System market
• Stagnant, mature market• A few main vendors• Domination of private equity companies • Confusion over product direction– Discontinuation of systems
![Page 9: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Slow pace of development• Functionality lag– Lack of Web 2.0 capability
• Obsolete technologies• Declining levels of customer service• Increasing costs
Current LMS Frustrations
![Page 10: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Is open source the answer?
![Page 11: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What is Open Source Software (OSS)?• A worldwide community develops and maintains it• You can download, instal and modify it yourself• There are companies whose business model is to help you
implement and support it, e.g.:– Biblibre– Equinox– PTFS– Alpha G
• Free from lock in with single supplier• Tend to use next generation technologies• The software is free
![Page 12: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Kittens are Free
![Page 13: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
There is a cost of ownership
• Staff time• Support costs• Infrastructure
![Page 14: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
So, it’s not free, but ....
• Lower implementation costs• Cheaper on-going costs• Freedom to move between vendor• Freedom to develop what you want• Freedom to collaborate and share• Freedom to move quickly
![Page 15: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Anyone use Facebook?..Anyone use Facebook?..
![Page 37: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Do you use Facebook?• Do your children use Facebook?• Do your grandchildren use Facebook?!• Why does this matter to libraries?
– 300 million people around the world are now actively using Facebook and almost half of them are using Facebook every day
– If Facebook were a country, it would be the eighth most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan, Russia and Nigeria
– Facebook hit 150,000,000 just about two months after reaching 120 million and about four months after reaching 100 million. The site hit 140 million in the middle of December 2008 and has 300 million at September 2009.

• Facebook is a huge success story in Web 2.0– It has made it mainstream
• How does your LMS compare with Facebook?• How many Web 2.0 features can you find in
your current LMS or OPAC?
Web 2.0
![Page 39: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Characteristics of Web 2.0– Social networking– Folksonomies (Tagging)– Software application through a browser (no client software)– Interfaces and applications based on technologies such as Ajax– Content syndication– Plugins and extensions– Authoring (comments, suggestions etc.)– XML and RSS– Web APIs
Open Source LMS’s are leading the way in bringing Web 2.0 to libraries
![Page 40: Cilip Seminar 6th October - Integrating With Open Source](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061221/54be04cc4a79598b3b8b45fb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
• No access to source code• “hooks” often not there• Lack of publicly available documentation for DB
schema/API etc.• Lack of modern integration tools• Slow take-up of standards• Cost – You may have to pay your provider to develop
what you need• Lack of interest in third party applications / projects
Integration Barriers of traditional LMS systems
