Abstract

Open sources are commonly used in libraries and information centers across the globe. As the libraries have different natures and services being provided, they are facing different challenges in implementing and adopting open sources like DSpace, Koha, Greenstone, and so on. These open sources are very popular among Library and Information Science professionals in the world for rendering automation and network-based services to the users’ community. While implementing or installing of DSpace software, professionals face many challenges associated with operating systems, compatibility with existing hardware and software being used, application of DSpace, using the latest versions of the operating system, and open source. With their in-depth knowledge and practical experience implementing these sources in many libraries in India, both authors have been facing and rectifying various issues of implementation of these sources and have been giving solutions to the challenges
being faced. With the applications of the latest versions of these open sources at all the libraries of the Poornima Group of Institutions, authors have been practicing finding the best solutions to the challenges. Through this article, solutions have been shared that are based on practical experience.
