  3. Mandatory open source eulogy: “The development of open source products is usually quickly reactive to users’ reviews and needs, in contrast to commercial software. Open source ILSs provide the opportunity for libraries to collaborate and create their own workflow improvements. Libraries can customize and write their own code and programs. Other libraries can adopt or tweak these programs in a way that fits their individual needs” Young, Trends in Library Systems , 2013
