English abstract

The open source software (OSS) makes source code available to users, who can change the software to modify it more closely to their own requirements. Now the OSS is available for library and information management Examples of such systems include GSDL, DSpace, NewGenlib, Fedora, and Ganesha digital library software, etc. The OSS is popular with technically sophisticated users, who are often also the software developers. The OSS is becoming an increasingly popular software development method. This paper highlights the comparison of features, functions and usability of OSS, i.e., GSDL, DSpace, E-Prints, Fedora, Ganesha, Invenio, XTS, Dienst, VuDL, and NewGenlib. Ranking of the software have been done based on the assigned points for each criteria. The GSDL scored maximum points, i.e., 47 and hence it is in rank first followed by VuDL which scored 43 points.
