3. Podcast.

Using bing as my search engine I found a blog of the Lincoln Trail Libraries System which reported on the ILS Symposium that took place in Champagne, IL in September 2007. Of the many available podcasts there I selected a discussion on open source ILS moderated by Carl Grant -- a former representative of the commercial vendor. He provides a basic introduction to the concept of open source ILS, compares open source ILS with a proprietary systems and then participates in a Q&A session.

As a side note: this podcast is from September 2007. A lot of things have changed in the past three years -- certainly in the development of open source ILS. But also in the life of Carl Grant: according to his blog, he is back in the corporate world.
