-===== Open Source Backgrounder =====
-Focusing mostly on the open source LMS/ILS, this [[http://galecia.com/content/open-source-library-software/detailed|backgrounder]] from Lori Ayre ([[http://galecia.com|The Galecia Group]]) describes some of the benefits of libraries going to an Open Source ILS and explains some of the differences when it comes to licenses, purchasing services, development/enhancements and maintenance of the system.
 ===== Open Source Discovery =====

 At present only one HE library (University of Staffordshire) in the UK is has signed up for or implemented an Open Source LMS, although some (such as [[https://catalogue.lse.ac.uk/|LSE]] use the Open Source VuFInd 'Discovery Service' to supplement their LMS OPAC. The [[http://www.slideshare.net/Mark_H_Swansea/open-libraries-vu-find|SWWHEP consortium in Swansea]]) VuFind implementation is now in full use and can be viewed as the primary OPAC interface at Swansea University at [[https://ifind.swwhep.ac.uk/|https://ifind.swwhep.ac.uk/]]

 ===== Open Source ERM systems =====
 Open source solutions for Electronic Resource management are not so widely adopted for the management of e-resources and for print (ie LMS/ILS). Here are some examples:
