4. Introduction
Programmers and developers shared software in
order to learn from each other.
1984 Richard Stallman formed
Free Software Foundation.

5. Introduction
(contd..)
1991 Linus Torvalds developed Linux.
Open Source Initiative was formed
in 1998 as an educational, advocacy,
and stewardship organization at this important
moment in the history of collaborative development.
The “open source” label was created at
a strategy session held on February 3rd,
1998 in Palo Alto, California, shortly
after the announcement of the release
of the Netscape source code.
6. Open Source Initiative (OSI)
• The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit
corporation formed to educate about and
advocate for the benefits of open source and
to build bridges among different
constituencies in the
open-source community.
• http://www.opensource.org/
7. Open Source Software Movement In India
• In India several organizations are working on
OSS.
• Open Source Software Resource Center
(OSSRC) established by IBM.
• Objectives
1. Establishing a development portal
2. Develop high-quality training programs
3. Training in development of good quality content in various areas
of education and general awareness
9. According to Eric Lease Morgan (2002), author
of MyLibrary portal software
• “In many ways I believe OSS development, as articulated by
Raymond, is very similar to the principles of librarianship.
First and foremost with the idea of sharing information.
Both camps put a premium on open access. Both camps are
gift cultures and gain reputation by the amount of "stuff“
they give away. What people do with the information,
whether it be source code or journal articles,
is up to them. Both camps hope the shared
information will be used to improve our place
in the world. Just as Jefferson's informed
public is a necessity for democracy,
OSS is necessary for the improvement of
computer applications.”

10. According to Chudnov
OSS licenses allow libraries to cut budget
on software and use it to other issues
needing more funds.
OSS product is not locked into a single vendor. Thus
even if a library buys an open source system from one
vendor, it might choose to buy technical support from
another company or get it from in-house experts.
The entire library community might share the
responsibility of solving information systems
accessibility issues.

11. Open Source and Libraries: The Principles
and Philosophy
• Sharing Information Freely with no restriction
• In terms of user stratification both represent culture of
collaboration and problem solving to fulfill internal and
external needs.
• Both depends on human interaction to improve their
respective services.
• Open access is the main philosophy behind both libraries
and OSS
12. General Cause
• Libraries have limited fund.
• User demand and quick service increase day
by day.
• Price of hardware is going down while the
price of software is increasing day by day.

16. What is Open Source Software (OSS)?
what
Software
Source
Open
17. Software
• software is a collection of instructions that
enable a user to interact with the computer or
have the computer perform specific tasks for
them.
Image Source : softwarelicense.arizona.edu
19. Source
• Instructions to computers are normally
written by programmers in Programming
Languages like – C, C++, Java etc.
• These instructions are readable by humans
and referred as Source Code.
• To make machines i.e. computers to
understand this source code – it
either compiled or interpreted into
machine level codes.
21. Open
• Here original source code of the software is
also given.
• If required, the users can modify the source
code and then compile
the software to use it.
• Thus, the source code
is Opened up.
Image Source : www.timeshighereducation.co.uk
22. Definition
• OSS is typically created and maintained by
developers crossing institutional and national
boundaries , collaborating by using internet
based communication and development tools.
……….Chudnuv (1999)
• Quality, not profit, drives open source
developers who take personal pride in seeing
their working solution adopted.
………….Moody(2001)
23. Open Source Software (OSS)
Open source promotes software reliability and
quality by supporting independent peer review
and rapid evaluation of source code. To be
certified as a open source, the license of the
program must guarantee the right
to read, redistribute, modify,
and use it freely.
…….According to the OSI, 2003a
Image Source : http://opensource.org/osd
24. Reasons to Use Open Source Software
• It promotes creative development
• Those who can't afford proprietary software can download open source
programs for free
• Money saved can be used to purchase other needed materials
• Can easily modify your software to suit patron's needs and your needs
• Little to no upgrade costs
• No more grueling over software that doesn't meet your standards -- create it
yourself based off of a close pre-existing piece of software
• The price (free) makes it easier to change your mind when the software
doesn't live up to its expectations
• Little to no viruses!

27. The Open Source Initiative (OSI) identified ten
criteria for a software product to be called open
source. The OSI certifies a software license as an
‘OSI Certified License’ on the basis of the
following ‘Ten Commandments.’

33. Free Software and Open Source Software
The founding of the Free Software Foundation
(FSF) in 1985 by Richard M.Stallman is widely
considered the start of the free software
movement.
The idea was developed in Sept.1983
-announcement of a plan to develop an operating
system called GNU, GNU Not Unix (similarly to
the UNIX OS).
In 1998, a part of the Free Software community
split off and began campaigning in the name of
“Open Source”.
34. Free Software
Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve
the software.
“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community
“free software” is a matter of liberty, not price.
More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the users of the software:
The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1).
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the
whole community benefits (freedom 3).
CopyLeft software is FreeSoftware with these additional conditions:
The source code must be made available to users.
Copies cannot be redistributed under a non-FreeSoftware license.
(GNU GPL)
35. Free Software (contd.)
It is important to note that the GPL does not say anything about price.
As odd as it may sound, you can charge for free software. The “free” part
is in the liberties you have with the source code, not in the price you pay
for the software.
(http://www.slackbook.org/html/introduction-opensource.html)
Many people believe - GNU Project is that you should not charge money
for distributing copies of software,
- or that you should charge as little as possible—just
enough to cover the cost.
---Richard Stalman : Actually, we encourage people who
redistribute free software to charge as much as they wish or can.
“Free software” does not mean “noncommercial”.
Nonfree programs are usually sold for a high price, but sometimes a store
will give you a copy at no charge. That doesn't make it free software,
though. Price or no price, the program is nonfree because users don't have
freedom.
36. Open source software
Open source software is software that can be freely used, changed, and shared (in
modified or unmodified form) by anyone. Open source software is made by many
people, and distributed under licenses that comply with the Open Source
Definition. (The Open Source Initiative)
The consumer of an open source program has the rights to do the following things
to the source code:
read it
use it
modify it
distribute it
charge money for services related to it, such as copying or support, so long as they
do not infringe on the freedoms of others
Open source isn't PublicDomain. That means there is a license involved and the
license has restrictions, which can include:
distribution must be free
modifications must be distributed
original authors must be acknowledged (i.e. the BerkeleyStandardDistribution
license, although the advertising clause has been rescinded July 22, 1999.)
derivatives must be similarly licensed (i.e. the GnuGeneralPublicLicense)
37. Open Source vs Free Software
"Free software" and "open source software" are two terms for the same thing: software
released under licenses that guarantee a certain, specific set of freedoms.
According to Bruce Perens, one of the founders of the OSI and Open Source
Definition, the Open Source term was intended as a synonym for Free
Software.
The FSF uses a shorter, four-point definition of software freedom when evaluating
licenses, while the OSI uses a longer, ten-point definition. The two definitions lead to
the same result in practice, but use superficially different language to get there.
All Open Source software can be used for commercial purpose.
[ Any other related question : http://opensource.org/faq (open Source Initiative)]
38. Open Source vs Free Software (Contd.)
Open Source Software Free Software
Open source is a development
methodology.
Free software is a social movement.
Open Source tends to focus on providing
an economic/business argument for Free
Software.
Free Software focuses on providing a
moral/ethical argument for Open Source.
using/providing Open Source Software is
beneficial to you and your business.
using/providing Free Software is a good,
morally right, thing to do.
39. Open Source vs Free Software (Contd.)
Open Source Software Free Software
Open source considered issues in terms of
how to make software better – in a
practical sense only.
Free software is an ethical imperative,
essential respect for the user freedom
Nearly all open source software is free
software(according to Richard Stollman,
GNU Free software movement)
All existing free software would qualify as
open source. (according to Richard
Stollman, GNU Free software movement)
FreeSoftwareMovement [...] is concerned
not only with practical benefits but with a
social and ethical issue. (According to
Richard Stallman)
OpenSource Movement studiously avoids
these social and ethical issues.(According
to Richard Stallman)
40. Proprietary Software
• Source code is not available
• It can’t be modified by any one, other than
the person team or organization who created
it.
• You have to pay.
41. Proprietary vs Open Source/Free Software
Proprietary Open Source
Cost Mostly available for a fee Must be free to use modify
and redistribute.
Support Support provided by the
vendor at a cost.
Community of users and
developers
Ownership of Source Code Organization that created it Free, no ownership
Modification of Source Code Only organization/creator can
modify
Free, anyone can modify
Copyright Licensed; typically for a fee Licensed; typically for a free
Code Provide only Object code not
source code
Provide Source code with
object code
42. Proprietary vs Open Source/Free Software
(Contd.)
Proprietary Open Source
Reliability PS is developed by
specialized teams at
vendor's end. Only finished
products are provided at
outlets. Since there is no
un-authenticated
modification, the outcome
is always reliable.
Since OSS are available on
a large number of
unverified websites and
even most of these
distributions may be
modified by any
technologically sound
user, so there is a chance
that a user adds/modifies
some component; it may
works good individually,
but, may clash with other
components and
ultimately degrade the
product.
43. Other concepts of software
FOSS & FLOSS : According to Bruce Perens, one of the founders
of the OSI and Open Source Definition, the Open Source term was
intended as a synonym for Free Software. Perens eventually
decided to return to the roots of the movement and to speak about
Free Software again.
In the course of time people came up with
additional labels for the same set of software.
FOSS – Free Open Source Software;
FLOSS – Free Libre Open Source Software;
(Source : Free Software Foundation Europe)
Freeware : It is provided to be used without any monetary
charges. However, severe restrictions of its use, modification
and redistribution are still imposed and Source code is not
provided. It can be passed on to anyone free of cost.
(Proprietary software versus Open Source Software for Education. N. Pankaja, Mukund Raj P K, American
Journal of Engineering Research (AJER),Volume-02, Issue-07, pp-124-130)
44. Other concepts of software (Contd.)
Commercial Software : “Commercial” and
“proprietary” are not the same! Commercial software is
software developed by a business as part of its business.
Most commercial software is proprietary, but there is
commercial free software.
Private software : Private or custom software is
software developed for one user (typically an organization
or company). That user keeps it and uses it, and does not
release it to the public either as source code or as binaries.
45. Other concepts of software (Contd.)
Shareware : Shareware is software which comes
with permission for people to redistribute copies, but
says that anyone who continues to use a copy is
required to pay a license fee.
Shareware is not free software , because -
i) For most shareware, source code is not
available; thus, you cannot modify the program at all.
ii) Shareware does not come with permission to
make a copy and install it without paying a license fee.
46. Other concepts of software (Contd.)
Copylefted software
Copylefted software is free software whose distribution terms ensure
that all copies of all versions carry more or less the same distribution terms.
This means, for instance, that copyleft licenses generally disallow others
to add additional requirements to the software (though a limited set of
safe added requirements can be allowed) and require making source code
available.
Noncopylefted free software
Noncopylefted free software comes from the author with permission
to redistribute and modify, and also to add additional restrictions to it.
If a program is free but not copylefted, then some copies or
modified versions may not be free at all. A software company can compile
the program, with or without modifications, and distribute the executable
file as a proprietary software product.
47. Other concepts of software (Contd.)
Public domain software
Public domain software is software that is not copyrighted.
In some cases, an executable program can be in the public
domain but the source code is not available. This is not free
software, because free software requires accessibility of
source code. Meanwhile, most free software is not in the
public domain; it is copyrighted, and the copyright holders
have legally given permission for everyone to use it in
freedom, using a free software license.
50. Automation
• The word “automation” has been derived form Greek
word “automose” means something, which has power
of spontaneous motion or self-movement.
• Automation is technology of automatic working in which
the handling method, the process and design of professional
material are integrated.
• This is the effort to achieve an automatic and self-regulating
chain of processes.
• According to Encyclopedia of Library and Information
Science,“Automation is the technology concerned with the
design and development of process and system that minimize
the necessity of human intervention in operation”. (Kent,1977)
• According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it defines
automation as “application of automatic control to any
branch of industry or science by extension, the use of
electronic or mechanical devices to replace human labour”.
(Simpson & Weiner, 1989)
51. • Library automation is defined as
the application of automatic and semiautomatic data
processing machines (computers) to perform traditional library
housekeeping activities such as acquisition, circulation,
cataloguing and reference and serials control.
52. Why Automation?
• Improving the level of
service and quality of
output
• Fulfilling needs that
cannot be achieved by
manual system:
Sharing of resources
Information that
appears only in electronic
format (e.g. Internet
resources, databases etc.)
• Accuracy and Reliability
53. • Self Survival in the New Environment
• Speeding up the Operation
• Simultaneous and Decentralization Access
• Storage, Retrieval and Protection of Information
• Exception Reporting and New Services
• Automatic Statistics Generation
• Stock Taking
• Benefits for Patrons, Staffs and Institution
57. Software needs for Digital Library
A Digital library is an organization that provides the resources, including
the specialized staffs, to select, structure, offer intellectual access to
interpret, distribute, preserve the integrity of collections of digital works
so that they are readily and economically available for users of a defined
community or a set of communities. (Waters, 1998)
• Digital Documents
• Archival Needs
• Online/Remote Access
• Full-Text Search
Capabilities
• OAI-PMH Needs
58. Software needs for content management
A content management system (CMS), also called a
Web management system is software or a group or
suite of applications and tools that enable an
organization to seamlessly create, edit, review and
publish electronic text.
•
Engendering the re-use of information by allowing the
ready integration of data from diverse sources
•
Permitting the efficient re-purposing of information
•
Allowing information maintenance to become devolved
but at the same time preserving central control
•
Ensuring presentational consistency by separating the
design of Web pages from the content they display
59. • De-skilling the task of putting information on the Web
• Facilitating good information management practice
• Permitting some past state of the Web site to be re-created or restored

82. What is a Digital Library?
• A digital library is an integrated set of services for
capturing, cataloging, storing, searching, protecting
and retrieving information ~Reddy et al. 1999
• A digital library typically comprises digital collections,
services and infrastructure to support communication
and preservation ~Wikipedia
83. What can it do?
• Original use
– Preservation: Archive of digitized copies of rare
documents, books, and historical objects
– For study by people of new generations
• Modern use
– Central repository to store virtually all works of
faculty and staff
– Preservation of all works so that they do not vanish
with time (and technological obsolescence)
84. What distinguishes a DL?
• DL brings the library to the user
• Improved access - Searching and browsing
• 3 in 1 access- anytime, anyone, anywhere
• Information can be shared more easily
• Information is always available (365*7*24)
• Easier to keep information current

integration of other software according to requirement
133. Barriers and Challenges of OSS
• OSS can lack formal support making it difficult for
libraries.
• OSS is not always easy to use.
• OSS initiatives do not always do enough to get
non-systems librarians.
• Every version has come changes which creates
problem in exchanging data from one version to
other.
134. Barriers and Challenges of OSS
• Online assistance is required.
• Installation process is not easy.
• Troubleshooting also difficult for non-
technical staff.
135. Conclusion
• Open source has paved its way after
the evolution of Unix.
• Eric Raymond gave it strength in 1997
by an article “The Cathedral and the Bazaar ”
• OSI has started a movement in favour of OSS. By
this efforts, today we have uncountable open
source software and projects.
• The open source movement has influenced
almost every flied specially the information field.
136. Conclusion
• The present study focuses only on Open Source
Software in the area of ILMS, Digital Library and CMS.
• After the presentation we can said that in the area of
ILMS, Koha is the widely used ILMS open source
software.
• On the other hand, in the area of Digital Library
software, DSpace is the more preferred one.
• Another area that is CMS, Drupal and Joomla are the
most popular and have more or less same features.
• Though there are lots of OSS are available , but still
there exists some problems with such systems.

Without software, the computer would be useless.
without your Internet browser software you would be unable to browse the Internet
"Source code" is the part of software that most computer users don't ever see; it's the code computer programmers can use to change how a piece of software works. Programmers who have access to a computer program's source code can improve that program by adding features to it or fixing parts that don't always work correctly.
An Interpreter is a program that implements or simulates a virtual machine using the base set of instructions of a programming language as its machine language.
A Compiler is a program that translates code of a programming language in machine code, also called object code. The object code can be executed directly on the machine where it was compiled.
1. Open Source Software (OSS) is software for which the source code, that is, the raw format of the programme as punched in by a programmer in some programming language, is freely available. Furthermore, the software can be modified and redistributed freely according to a specified license.
2. Open Source Software is software for which the underlying programming code is also available to the users.
3. They may read it, make changes, and build new versions of the software incorporating their changes.
Free Redistribution :
The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.
2. Source Code :
The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor or translator are not allowed.
3. Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code
The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software.
5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
7. Distribution of License
The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by thoseparties.
8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product
The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's being part of a particular software distribution. If the program is extracted from that distribution and used or distributed within the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the original software distribution.
9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software
The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium must be open-source software.
10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral
No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or style of interface.
3. The term was originally proposed to avoid a possible misunderstanding of the term “free software, Some of the supporters of open source considered the term a “marketing campaign for free software,” which would appeal to business executives by highlighting the software's practical benefits,Other supporters flatly rejected the free software movement's ethical and social values. The term “open source” quickly became associated with ideas and arguments based only on practical values,
Freedom 0 : (the freedom for any kind of person or organization to use it on any kind of computer system, for any kind of overall job and purpose, without being required to communicate about it with the developer or any other specific entity.) In this freedom, it is the user's purpose that matters, not the developer's purpose; you as a user are free to run the program for your purposes, and if you distribute it to someone else, she is then free to run it for her purposes, but you are not entitled to impose your purposes on her.
Freedom 1 : you must have access to the source code of the program. It includes the freedom to use your changed version in place of the original.
Freedom 2 & Freedom 3 : You must have access to the source code of the program It includes the freedom to release your modified versions as free software. It does not have to be a copyleft license.you must have access to the source code of the program. you are free to redistribute copies, either with or without modifications, either gratis or charging a fee for distribution, to anyone anywhere. Being free to do these things means (among other things) that you do not have to ask or pay for permission to do so.
You should also have the freedom to make modifications and use them privately in your own work or play, without even mentioning that they exist. If you do publish your changes, you should not be required to notify anyone in particular, or in any particular way.:
Copyrights exist in order to protect authors of documentation or software from unauthorized copying or selling of their work.
A Copyleft, on the other hand, provides a method for software or documentation to be modified, and distributed back to the community, provided it remains Libre.
2. A free program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free software is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important. You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies, you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to sell copies.
4. If you receive software under an Open Source license, you can always use that software for commercial purposes, but that doesn't always mean you can place further restrictions on people who receive the software from you. In particular, so-called copyleft-style Open Source licenses require that when you distribute the software, you do so under the same license you received it under.
3. (whether to encourage people to cooperate with their neighbors, or prohibit cooperation. The FreeSoftwareMovement raises issues of freedom, community, principle, and ethics)
Some software has source code that cannot be modified by anyone but the person, team, or organization who created it and maintains exclusive control over it. This kind of software is frequently called "proprietary software" or "closed source" software, because its source code is the property of its original authors, who are the only ones legally allowed to copy or modify it. (it is a non free software).
(commercial free software is that provides the software free but they take the service charges For example, GNU Ada is developed by a company. It is always distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL, and every copy is free software; but its developers sell support contracts.)
A private program is free software (in a somewhat trivial sense) if its sole user has the four freedoms. In particular, if the user has full rights to the private program, the program is free. However, if the user distributes copies to others and does not provide the four freedoms with those copies, those copies are not free software.
If the source code is in the public domain, that is a special case of noncopylefted free software, which means that some copies or modified versions may not be free at all.
Integrated library systems (ILS) are multifunction, adaptable software applications that allow libraries to manage, catalogue and circulate their materials to patrons. In choosing ILS software, libraries must base their decision not only on the performance and efficiency of the system, but also on its fundamental flexibility to readily adapt to the future demands and needs of their patrons. )
This diagram depicts how the various modules of an ILMS functions and also highlights the connections through which the information is finally passed on to the user. Acquisition , cataloguing , circulation, serial control and OPAC these are the general modules of any software. After processing these modules , it goes to the Database server than from database server ,it divided into two parts like on LAN and Web. Finally End user get the information through LAN and through Web.
Now I would discuss the Modules:
Acquisition Section: librarian can take many types of reposts as they require i.e. vender list with address, list of purchase orders, ascension register, invoice register, order form, etc.
Cataloguing Section: library can make many type of document as per their requirement like books, CDs, Photocopy Books, thesis, gifted books etc. library can provide Current awareness services (CAS are the services that provide information about the latest books, articles, events and news in a field. ) and Selective documentation Information (SDI is the ability of a service to notify a user of material that matches the interests of the user. This involves: scanning of material; recognizing relevant information in the material; summarizing the information; and Presenting the summaries information to the user.) service by e-mail to users. And can take report of total books by accession No.; by class No.; by subject; by document type; or by location etc. librarian can easily make bibliographic data for special books of as user
required and make multimedia data for digital library.
Circulation Section: it is a most important section in any library automation program. Librarian can make many types of member categories and give them different authentication to different users. Librarian can make different overdue policies for difference users.
Libsys provides Overnight Issue for users. Through Libsys, librarian can send overdue notice regularly to students by e-mail. Libsys has a special feature that can inform students to return books before due date by sending overdue Alert by e-mail. And also send the check out or check in slip through e-mail on same time.
Serial Section: librarian can enter and manage serials data through this section. Librarian can also make multimedia files in serials also.
OPAC: customizable, RSS feed for searches, comments / reviews by patrons
Circulation: checking in/out, overdue notices (email, sms)
Patron Management: photos, custom fields, fine management, history
Cataloging: data entry, copy cataloging using Z39.50 search, MARC and UNIMARC support, authority control
Serials: serials management, receive issues, track late issues, process vendor claims, check-in supplements
Acquisitions: track vendors, track orders, receive orders, process claims, budgeting
Custom Reporting: Statistics Wizard,Report Wizard,SQL Report.
The above definition of CMS explains the conceptual model of a CMS is also used for the application software that is used for designing, developing and managing digital content, especially on the web.
