Open Source Software Support Services

In 2013 LYRASIS commissioned a series of case studies about implementing OSS systems in libraries. LYRASIS selected three concepts for development: Crawford County Federated Library System in Pennsylvania (Koha case study); Fenway Libraries Online in Massachusetts (Coral case study); and the University of Chicago Library (Kuali OLE case study). These three represent diverse open source systems, types of libraries and levels of experience. The case studies were published on foss4lib.org, a website created during the project that is now only partially active.
