I often talk about what open source software you can use in your library to improve services and save on licensing fees. Well, a few weeks ago I was at the Taylor County Public Library in Perry, FL doing some Koha training and I learned that they also use lots of other open source applications in their library. So far, they’re using:

• Koha

• Firefox
• Ubuntu
• Opera
• and WordPress

I can’t wait to see what other software they end up using (especially since I introduced them to a few new options and they’re attending one of my open source classes in May to learn more).

Read all about it.

[update] Just an update. While parts of Opera are open source, the core browser is not. So if you want to go fully open source - Firefox is your answer [/update]
