Open source strengths include:
- Low cost-Some open source software is free and if its not free it is a lower cost than commercial software
- Pay for services, not software-customizing the CSM, templates, training, creating content, etc.
- Ease of customization
- Open platforms
- Community support-this is important at a library
CSMs are easy to use and design. The library can take advantage of the fact that open source software is affordable.
