'Open Source Software in Georgia Libraries' with Jason Puckett - ARCHIVED SESSION
What is open source software? Why should it matter to you, and how are Georgia librarians using it to their advantage? You don't have to be a programmer to understand how the open source software movement can benefit you and your library, from the web browser to media production, research tools and the ILS. This session will cover the advantages and disadvantages of using open source software in libraries with practical examples and ideas you can use.
Jason Puckett is Librarian for Communication and Educational Technologies at Georgia State University Library in Atlanta and a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. He writes and speaks about open-source software in libraries, digital rights management, and teaching information literacy. He podcasts at Adventures in Library Instruction (http://adlibinstruction.blogspot.com/) and blogs at Librarian X (http://jasonpuckett.net). Jason is the author of a forthcoming book about using and teaching the open-source reference manager Zotero (ACRL Publications, spring 2011).
