Open Source ILS Services
Libraries are choosing open source alternatives to proprietary integrated library systems in ever increasing numbers. Open source software is designed to be open and accessible -- core values shared by the library community.
Amigos can provide members:
- An affordable, hosted, web-based open source ILS option
- Installation and data migration
- Customization
- Assistance for in-house IT staff with implementation
- Ongoing maintenance
The absence of licensing fees makes the switch to open source a budget friendly decision.
This project is currently in the pilot phase and is actively seeking participants. During the pilot, project participants will pay no fees but will contribute staff time for planning and testing the system. If you have questions or would like to see how an open source ILS can benefit your library, contact Charles Cason at 800-843-8482, ext. 2846 or cason@amigos.org.
