Open source software provided the source code for further modification if new technology come in ourfiled.
Some times proprieatary software not provided legal support to modification the existing software that we considered as static in nature.In case of Lib.Mangmnt Softwares cost is not afordable many of lndian libraries
so that it is better to use free softwares .Many of them having the capability of handiling technologies we need
I don't know how it is good enough for us because many of the vendors vanished after the market demand ended. It is better to read this article for more.... " http://www.acm.org/ubiquity/views/v4i47_dorman.html "

I understand software like Koha, NewGenLib, Dspace, Greenstone are good software to manage any library but my main concern is as Mr. Ajeesh had said is the vanishing act of the company and our dependability on software increase, do you think that every library should have a dedicated software development team (1 person / two) to support in developing the software for both digital and general lms software??? any comment !!1
