‡biblios.net – Free Cataloguing. Josh Ferraro Talks with Talis

23rd January 2009, 02:28 pm by Richard Wallis In: Licensing, Open Source, Podcast

Josh Ferraro ‡biblios.net  – Is a free service for librarians to create, edit, and share bibliographic records backed by an equally free and open store of over 30 million library records available for all to access, search and download.

Cataloging LibLime CEO Josh Ferraro joins me in conversation as he launches ‡biblios.net at ALA Midwinter in Denver. 

We explore how this is a really free and open service that has been made possible, not only by technology and open source software, but also by the availability of open data licensing in the form of Open Data Commons.  Josh also explains how the core software behind ‡biblios.net is itself open source.
