Submission + - Librarians stake their future on open source

Submitted by Systems Librarian on Saturday December 23, 2006 @12:09AM

Systems Librarian writes: Linux.com is running a story, Librarians stake their future on open source, about group of librarians at the Georgia Public Library Service that have developed an open source, enterprise-class library management system that may revolutionize the way large-scale libraries are run. The system, Evergreen, whose 1.0 release came in November, is an Integrated Library System (ILS): the software that manages, catalogs, and tracks the circulation of library holdings. It's written in C, JavaScript and Perl, is GPLed, runs on Linux with Apache, uses a PostgreSQL database, Jabber for messaging and XUL as client-side software. The system allows easy clustering and is based entirely on open protocols.

I've flipped burgers, sold motorcycles, delivered pizzas, built houses, mastered webs, repaired fighter jets, been to more countries than I can count, and never gotten a cavity.

As of now I work in a factory making worthless pieces of plastic. In my free time I write computer programs and build webservers and sites from the ground up.

Specialization is for insects.
