[Koha] Article in American Libraries

[Stephen Hedges]

The December issue of American Libraries, the magazine of the American Library 
Association, has a feature article by David Dorman called "Open Source Software 
and the Intellectual Commons."  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be available 
online . . .

Dorman argues that Open Source is not a fad, but a "fundamental trend that 
fulfills some very basic economic, cultural, ethical, and political needs."  He 
mentions Koha in the very first paragraph:  "There is even an Open Source 
library management system -- Koha -- in general release for smaller 
libraries."

He also says the widespread adoption of Open Source is "all but inevitable."
