Many commercial products are available. However, many institutions may not be able to afford the cost of using commercial products. Therefore, an alternative solution in such situations would be open source software. This paper is focusing on reviewing open source library management system packages currently available. The review will focus on the abilities to perform four basic components which are traditional services, interlibrary load management, managing electronic materials and basic common management system such as security, alert system and statistical reports. In addition, environment, basic requirement and supporting aspects of each open source package are also mentioned.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Systems Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {5}, year = {2011}, pages = {509 - 514}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/8208}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/53}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 53, 2011}, }
