Synopsis

The theme of this meeting was the management of technologies in the context of developing countries, and in the light of recent developments concerning especially open source software and applications. Speakers from various countries debated in English and in French over the importance of changing the rules concerning library management systems, as well as related implications. Results show that open source software might be a solution, although some conditions apply.

R�unis sous le th�me de la gestion des syst�mes automatis�s de biblioth�ques dans les pays en d�veloppement, conf�renciers et participants discut�rent des changements r�cents dans ce domaine, notamment de l'apport des logiciels � code source ouvert. Les conf�renciers, provenant de diff�rents pays, pr�sent�rent en anglais et en fran�ais leurs diff�rents points de vue et exp�riences sur cette question importante pour l'avenir, de m�me que sur les implications qui y sont li�es. Les r�sultats d�montrent que les logiciels � code source ouverts peuvent �tre une solution, mais � certaines conditions.
