at ALA: Migrating to Open Source Library Systems"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>There are a <strong>lot<\/strong> of programs related to free and open source software at the Annual meeting of the American Library Association this year, but I am particularly looking forward to the LITA preconference on migrating to open source library systems, which I helped organize along with the LITA Open Source Systems Interest Group.\u00a0 The main speakers are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terry Reese, Gray Family Chair for Innovative Library  Services, Oregon State University, who will be presenting on MarcEdit.<\/li>\n<li>David Lindahl, Web Initiatives  Manager, University of Rochester, who will be discussing the XC project, evaluating open source with users in mind, migrating and managing metadata, and interoperating the ILS with other open source software.<\/li>\n<li>Brenda Chawner, Senior Lecturer,  Victoria University of Wellington, who will discuss the Kete community digital archive platform and building communities to contribute to open source software.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I will also be presenting on techniques for loading data into open source ILSs, and I know that a number of people with experience working with and migrating to open source library software will be present to share their expertise.<\/p>\n<p>The preconference will be in the Monroe Room at the Hilton Washington and will run from 9 to 4:30 on Friday, 25 June 2010.\u00a0 It is a paid preconference of LITA, but I will be blogging it and sharing the thoughts and insights of the speakers and participants with the world.\u00a0 As far as I know, if you will be attending ALA, it is still possible to register for the preconference.<\/p>\n<p>But wait!\u00a0 There&#8217;s more!\u00a0 There is another LITA preconference on Friday. related to F\/OSS software, the &#8220;Open Source CMS Playroom&#8221; which will be lead by Karen Coombs from OCLC and Amanda Hollister from LISHost.\u00a0 For
