Subject: Open Source Software Applications in Libraries survey
 

Dear
All,
 
You
would agree that there seems to be a growing use in OSS (Open Source Software)
applications in all walks of life whether you are drafting a letter or using
your mobile phone.  Some of the common
examples of OSS in our daily lives are Mozila, Linux, Open office, and so on.  In this context we thought it pertinent to study
OSS with specific reference to the library market. We believe that libraries
have traditionally been open to adopting OSS and some examples could be Koha, Evergreen,
Dspace, Eprints, Greenstone, etc.  In
line with this thinking we are conducting a brief survey on and their adoption
in Indian libraries.
 
The main
objective of this study is to understand the status of IT applications in
libraries in areas like Integrated Library Solutions, Digital library solutions,
Website solutions, etc. in India and the potential of OSS in these areas of library
functioning. We plan to identify factors that play a major role in, promoting
and preventing, OSS implementation. The study also seeks to identify the
preferred business models that may be appropriate in promoting the use of OSS
in libraries.
 
I invite
you kindly respond to this survey 
that has only 20 questions and the results of this study will be shared with
all the respondents of the survey.
