Lexwin
Lexwin allows users to control an inventory of resources in the way a library controls the searching, circulating, inventory, and other functions useful to its patrons and library staff. Because it uses library standard MARC records its records are transferrable to other library systems around the world. The system connects to major libraries around the world by a standard known as Z39.50, which means that most published books and media resources can be found already catalogued in MARC format. Local information can be added and the record saved effortlessly to the local database.

Evergreen ILS
This is the project site for Evergreen, highly-scalable software for libraries that helps library patrons find library materials, and helps libraries manage, catalog, and circulate those materials, no matter how large or complex the libraries. The Evergreen Project develops an open-source ILS (integrated library system) used by more than 2,000 libraries around the world. The software, also called Evergreen, is used by libraries to provide their public catalog interface as well as to manage back-of-house operations such as circulation (checkouts and check-ins), acquisition of library materials, and (particularly in the case of Evergreen) sharing resources among groups of libraries. Evergreen depends on the following technologies Perl, C, JavaScript, XML, XPath, XSLT, XMPP, OpenSRF, Apache, mod_perl, and PostgreSQL. The latest stable release of a supported Linux distribution is recommended for an Evergreen installation.
