The Open Library System — Re-invented, Implemented and Working

Abstract

A highly modularised and open system is described in this paper, and its ability to support the library’s strategy. By focusing on a single problem, it is possible to solve it in a qualitatively or quantitatively different way that is dictated by business vision and user needs. This results in a highly innovative library system when seen as a whole.
