Open Source Software Applications in Libraries- Survey by IIM, Ahmedabad

Dear All,

We will be grateful, if you please spare some time to fill up the survey and circulate with your group
 https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7RHWDN7


 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 https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7RHWDN7 that has only 20 questions and the results of this study will be shared with all the respondents of the survey.
 
This study is supported by OSS Labs and the researchers are grateful for the support.

Regards
