Session 9 - Open Products, Open Interfaces, and Open Source
•
1 like•260 views
Today, proprietary and open-source software can and do coexist and complement each other. Constrained by limited resources, libraries can do more and offer more if they start with functionally-rich products and build from there. The Ex Libris open-platform program provides a framework in which open-source code developed by the library community is integrated with robust, vendor-supported software. The result is a groundbreaking environment that is achievable and affordable in the short and long run.

Open access publishing overview
Open access publishing is becoming more prevalent as an alternative to traditional subscription-based publishing models. It allows research to be freely available online to anyone. There are two main models of open access - gold, where authors pay publication fees to open access journals, and green, where authors self-archive their work in open repositories. Proponents argue that open access increases visibility and impact of research, while critics argue it is too costly. Many funders and institutions now mandate or encourage open access publishing.
campusM
oMbiel's (http://www.ombiel.com/campusm.html) presentation will look at the trends in SmartPhone adoption within the UK student population and the relative merits of developing specific applications versus browser based solutions. The presentation will describe the campusM delivery architecture, its support for multiple types of phone, its adherence to standards and the benefit of an SOA/Web Services approach to being able to deliver both generic and personalised information. oMbiel will discuss campusM's adoption and Roadmap.
Koha Presentation at Uttara University
Koha is an open source integrated library system. It has modules for acquisition, cataloging, patron management, circulation, serial control, and reporting. The OPAC provides features like basic and advanced searching, item status and location checking, online renewals, holds, and reading history. Koha works on Linux, Unix, or Mac servers and only requires a web browser on client machines. It uses MySQL, Perl, and adheres to standards like MARC, Z39.50, and ISO2709. Koha is free to download and use, though support services may require payment. Over 6,500 libraries worldwide use Koha.
BLDS Migration to Koha (KohaCon12)
The British Library for Development Studies migrated from an old proprietary library management system to the open source Koha system. They chose Koha because it was developed and maintained by a worldwide community, allowed them to install and modify it themselves, and aligned with their objectives of building capacity in developing countries. After evaluating various open source options based on licensing, community support, and functionality, Koha was seen as the most complete system. The migration was outsourced to a third party vendor and took approximately 8 months. While some issues remained, the implementation was considered a success with praise from users.

Inforum 2007 Into The User environment
http://www.inforum.cz/en/
This presentation provides an overview of causes why library and information services are fading out of sight for most user groups and how these users and their expectations have changed without us realizing. It contains a strong plea for a focus shift for librarians, but in fact also for companies and organisations. A focus into the environments where the users are, instead of expecting them to come to us, or our resources. Exploration of all relevant user environments for your organization, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and certainly a more structural technical re-design of (library) information systems is required to deliver your services and resources at the place of need. A simple short-term solution like a QuickSearch Library Toolbar is explained, several other tools to “enrich” the user’s personal search environment, as well as the more long-term ongoing work at the Libraries of the University of Groningen and the Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen.
Eight things you should know about Open Source ILS
Open source integrated library systems (ILS) provide a free alternative to commercial ILS through projects like Koha, NewGenLib, and Evergreen. These community-owned projects are developed and improved through the collaboration of programmers, libraries, and funding agencies. While open source ILS may require more customization than commercial alternatives, they allow libraries to gain full control over their software and data while avoiding ongoing license fees. As open source ILS projects continue to evolve with user input, they are becoming viable options for enterprise-level library management systems.

The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
