*Description:*Many libraries are exploring the benefits of using the
Linux operating system in their institution. It can lower a library's

- Web/file/mail servers
- Library portals
- Automation/integrated library systems
- Digital libraries
- Web content filters
- Electronic reserves/journals systems
- Virtual reference systems
- Public access computers
Join us for this overview of Linux and open source software and find out
how it can benefit your library's staff, patrons, and budget. Attendees
will get hands-on experience with Linux and library-related projects.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- What is Linux?
- What can libraries do with it?
- What is needed to implement Linux?
- What is needed to support it?
