amazing, and probably cost-effective, Georgia public goes open source
Georgia Public Library System decided to go with a homegrown open-source system for their library automation needs.

My guess is it will cost less, both in vendor costs and also less lost staff time installing and fighting with new upgrades, featuritis and bad support. [teknobib]
