For the building block search I turned to Academic Search Complete database. I started with "open source" AND "database OR catalogue" AND "library". The search results yielded a collection of articles dealing with database design and computer architecture. Listed as #5 was an article addressing an issue of open source library catalogues and OPAC. Also promising articles were listed on position #12 and #15.
Next I changed the last facet from "library" to "ils" to make the searchmore specific. the move proved successful -- the #3 and #4 cover the open source integrated library systems. And on #7 there is an article discussing Liblime, one of the major consulting companies specializing in open source ils (specifically Koha).
