Managing Technologies and Automated Library Systems in Developing Countries: Open Source vs Commercial Options

Proceedings of the IFLA Pre-Conference Satellite Meeting Dakar, Sénégal, August 15-16 2007

About this book

The theme of this meeting was the management of technologies in the context of developing countries, and in the light of recent developments concerning especially open source software and applications. Speakers from various countries debated in English and in French over the importance of changing the rules concerning library management systems, as well as related implications. Results show that open source software might be a solution, although some conditions apply.

RĂ©unis sous le thĂšme de la gestion des systĂšmes automatisĂ©s de bibliothĂšques dans les pays en dĂ©veloppement, confĂ©renciers et participants discutĂšrent des changements rĂ©cents dans ce domaine, notamment de l'apport des logiciels Ă  code source ouvert. Les confĂ©renciers, provenant de diffĂ©rents pays, prĂ©sentĂšrent en anglais et en français leurs diffĂ©rents points de vue et expĂ©riences sur cette question importante pour l'avenir, de mĂȘme que sur les implications qui y sont liĂ©es. Les rĂ©sultats dĂ©montrent que les logiciels Ă  code source ouverts peuvent ĂȘtre une solution, mais Ă  certaines conditions.
