National research library @SOASLibrary is now sharing its open-source code for library systems on GitHub github.com/soas-library
-
More code, for the library management system and the digital library software, will be added in due course.
-
I've argued for a couple of years (and pitched to conferences) that libraries should care about open-source as much as open-access.
-
The same information ethics that underpin support of the open-access movement apply equally to the open-source movement.
-
∴ libraries should use open-source software and contribute to the open-source community.
-
So this is my #praxis.
