Purpose
To introduce the Library Hi Tech theme issue on open source software.
Design/methodology/approach
At the Hackfest before Access 2004 (a Canadian library technology conference) several people started to code open source software (OSS) solutions.
Findings
Some groups estimated they were close to 25 percent done – in just a few days, while attending Access Conference sessions all day.
Originality/value
Developments in the OSS library community should encourage you to experiment with these applications, or maybe even develop your own.
