Beschreibungen

<p>The theme of this meeting was the management of technologies in the context of developing countries, and in the light of recent developments concerning especially open source software and applications. Speakers from various countries debated in English and in French over the importance of changing the rules concerning library management systems, as well as related implications. Results show that open source software might be a solution, although some conditions apply.<br></p>
<p>Réunis sous le thème de la gestion des systèmes automatisés de bibliothèques dans les pays en développement, conférenciers et participants discutèrent des changements récents dans ce domaine, notamment de l'apport des logiciels à code source ouvert. Les conférenciers, provenant de différents pays, présentèrent en anglais et en français leurs différents points de vue et expériences sur cette question importante pour l'avenir, de même que sur les implications&#xa0; qui y sont liées. Les résultats démontrent que les logiciels à code source ouverts peuvent être une solution, mais à certaines conditions.</p>
<p>The <em>International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions </em> (IFLA) is the leading international body representing the interests of library and information services and their users. It is the global voice of the information profession.</p>
<p> The series <em>IFLA Publications </em>deals with many of the means through which libraries, information centres, and information professionals worldwide can formulate their goals, exert their influence as a group, protect their interests, and find solutions to global problems.&#xa0;</p>
"Il libro è sicuramente uno stimolo a indagare il mondo dell'
<em>open</em>
<em>source</em>, e risulta do anche nella realità bibliotecaria italiana, dove le ristrettezze economiche limitano sempre più i bilanci delle istituzioni culturali."
