Introducing FOSS 4 LIB Helping Libraries Decide If

Introducing FOSS 4 LIB Helping Libraries Decide If and What Open Source Software is Right for Them

• What open source options exist to meet a particular need of my library? • What are the strengths and weaknesses of an open source package? • My library has developers with skills in specific technologies. What open source packages mesh well with the skills my library has inhouse? • Where can my library go to get training, documentation, hosting, and/or contract software development for a specific open source package? • Are any peers using this open source software? • Where is there more information about this open source software package?
