Open source software provided the source code for further modification if new technology come in ourfiled.

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
