| contents | Build, Buy, Open Source, or Web 2.0?: Making an Informed Decision for Your Library Fagan, Jody Condit Keach, Jennifer A. Internet Comparative Analysis Web Sites Social Networks Information Technology Computer Mediated Communication Sharing Behavior Participative Decision Making Libraries Computer Software Library Networks When improving a web presence, today's libraries have a choice: using a free Web 2.0 application, opting for open source, buying a product, or building a web application. This article discusses how to make an informed decision for one's library. The authors stress that deciding whether to use a free Web 2.0 application, to choose open source, to buy a product, or to build a web application is closely tied to a library's specific needs and resources. They suggest to keep an open mind toward each option, and think through the implications carefully before committing to any solution. |
