Open source software is not something to be afraid of! It's software that you can modify, fix, add to, and distribute to others. Benefits are numerous, including having the ability to create good software that works for you and your library, all while paying a fraction of the cost that you might spend on proprietary software.

In the fast moving world of technology, we can be sure that things will change, but we can’t predict the next big development.
