Why I love OSS programs
April 3, 2007 by aklibrarian1
I know I had an entry titled this before, but I do love OSS programs. Yesterday I mentioned that I would look at Pines because I like the tool it has to merge MARC records. Today a Koha developer emailed me to let me know that he is working on this for Koha and it should be available soon. I can’t imagine getting that kind of service from a vendor.

What does OSS mean?

OSS stands for Open Source Software. The software is usually free, the main difference is that the programming code in Open Source Software. This allows people to make betterments of the software. Compare that to Microsoft programs in which you cannot alter the source to make it better for all.
