¨The term open source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials which is freely available throughout the web.¨Open source software is software that users have the ability to run, distribute, study and modify for any purpose.¨Open source refers to source code, the human-readable computer code which is the origin, or source, of the computer application.¨Open source software is software for which the source code is freely available.¨Open source is a collaborative software- development method that harnesses the power of peer review and transparency of process to develop code that is freely accessible.¨A main principle and practice of open-source software development is peer production by bartering and collaboration, with the end-product, source-material, and documentation available at no cost to the public.¨Open source is an expression where it simply means that a system is available to all who wish to work on it.¨Many libraries, however, may not be able to afford commercial products. Furthermore, some libraries may have their own special requirements which may increase the cost.¨As a result many institutes turn to open source library management system software packages as their alternatives
