Abstract:

Purpose – To introduce the Library Hi Tech theme issue on open source software.
Design/methodology/approach – At the Hackfest before Access 2004 (a Canadian library technology conference) several people started to code open source software (OSS) solutions.
Findings – Some groups estimated they were close to 25 percent done – in just a few days, while attending Access Conference sessions all day.
Originality/value – Developments in the OSS library community should encourage you to experiment with these applications, or maybe even develop your own.
