UK Universities Love Open Source
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:UK Universities Love Open Source (ID: CSD4609)
Author(s):John F. Oates (Duke University)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:According to a survey by Open Source Software Advisory Service (OSS Watch), open source software on campuses in the United Kingdom has moved out of the shadows and into legitimate contention with proprietary software solutions. Results of the survey indicated that although only one-quarter of institutions include open source in their IT policies, 77 percent at least consider open source during procurement. Randy Metcalfe of OSS Watch said, "It's not about explaining what open source is any more, but how to compare open source and proprietary software." The increase in use of Moodle, an open source learning management system, has been especially significant, according to Metcalfe. "To reach 56 percent in two and a half years is amazing," he said. In addition, Firefox, an open source browsers, is reportedly available on 68 percent of university computers (all have Internet Explorer). Of concern to some observers, however, is the fact that very few universities share changes they make to open source software. Many universities have policies dictating that developments are the property of the institution, preventing their being submitted to the open source community for broader use.

Using Directory Services for Application Information
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Using Directory Services for Application Information (ID: CMR0111)
Author(s):John J. Suess (University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
Origin:Presented at CUMREC Conferences (Archives) (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Directory services such as LDAP have been in place for years, providing basic phone or e-mail address lookup. However, LDAP directory services can provide an extremely robust environment for deploying more advanced applications. This presentation will highlight how UMBC developed and used an LDAP directory service to provide a bridge between our Business Application Systems and our Blackboard and WebCT course management applications. We will focus on how we did it and what we learned.
