Subject: [Koha] Article in American Libraries


> 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."
