English abstract

The open source software (OSS) movement seems very compatible with the goals of librarianship: to make information free and open to all. However, the open source movement has not been quickly embraced by the library world. This paper will examine the role of the American Library Association in the promotion and growth of open source, as well as how schools of library and information science have advanced open source technologies in the education of future librarians. How have these two groups helped or hindered OSS and what can they do to increase its use and sustainability?
