Reality
Small staff with limited knowledge
Can afford only the minimum support and maintenance of whatever system implemented and used.
No inside R&D
Outside vendor support is important because inside support is limited.

Take it or Leave it …

Hard to serve existing library services
&Hard to try new things
![Page 12: From a Small Library's Perspective - New Library Technology Paradigms: OS vs. Black Box vs. Hybrids](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445a159afaf9feb2a8b45eb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Things we do not like to hear :
That feature is not available in this system.
Or a low priority to add.
Or the vendor will work on adding that feature.
Wait for the next release.
Or you need to buy an upgraded version.
Or customization costs.
Or you just can’t do it.

Remember FireFox?Now you don’t have to
use IE.

Can I fix or change it?
![Page 15: From a Small Library's Perspective - New Library Technology Paradigms: OS vs. Black Box vs. Hybrids](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061109/5445a159afaf9feb2a8b45eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reason for OSS
Required feature set may be better supported.
Fast updates and bug fixes possible
Likely to be easier for troubleshooting
Some vendors are costly, incompetent, poorly qualified.
Room for customization even if you are not a big/rich institution
Development led by a community’s inputs and needs such as more use of standards

Possibility ?
Feasibility?
Sustainability?

OSS is Commitment to Innovation
and Investment in the future of the library

If want to go fast, you go alone;If you want to go far,you go together.

where all can contribute?
