Consumers are coming to expect a more flexible approach to purchasing software applications, with upgrades and add-ons being available as downloads rather than physically going to a shop to make their purchase. This shift in thinking is filtering its way into the library and information field with open source software, available for download online and with its own online community becoming more of a serious consideration than ever before. This calls for staff with a library background to also have technical skills and be savvy, installing, testing and rolling these open source additions to working life.
