Abstract

In terms of utility and technical quality, open source software solutions have become a common option for many libraries. As barriers to adoption have been reduced and systems such as FOLIO appear poised to change the landscape of LIS technology, it is worth examining how the use of open source can support the normative core values of librarianship, and to outline a strategy for critical engagement with the technology that is beneficial to patrons and libraries. That strategy will require further codification, institutionalization and investigation of open source at many levels.

在图书馆开展开源优先实践

就实用性和技术质量而言，开源软件解决方案已成为许多图书馆的共同选择。由于采用开源软件的障碍已经减少，而且 FOLIO 等系统似乎已经准备好改变 LIS 技术的面貌，因此值得研究如何使用开源软件来支持图书馆学的规范性核心价值，并勾勒出一个对读者和图书馆都有利的技术关键参与战略。这一战略需要在多个层面对开放源代码进行进一步的编纂、制度化和研究。
