  1. This is a great @scholarlykitchn post about misconceptions about open-source software in scholarly communications (can also be generalised to library systems and other Higher Education systems) scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2018/09/06/guest-post-open-source-and-scholarly-publishing/

      "open source is not only for the technically gifted." This is a key point for breaking down the false dichotomy between 'hosted system' and 'open-source system'. You can have hosted open-source systems. You don't need a huge IT or technical team to use open-source software.
