Right for Them
• What open source options exist to meet a particular need of my library?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of an open source package?
• My library has developers with skills in specific technologies. What open source packages mesh well with the skills my library has in-house?
• Where can my library go to get training, documentation, hosting, and/or contract software development for a specific open source package?
• Are any peers using this open source software?
• Where is there more information about this open source software package?
