oss4lib - Open Sources Systems for Libraries http://www.oss4lib.org/
Their mission is to cultivate the collaborative power of open source software engineering to build better and free systems for use in libraries. Toward this end, they maintain a listing of free software and systems designed for libraries (the physical, books-on-shelves kind), and they track news about project updates or related issues of interest. oss4lib started at the Yale Medical Library in early February 1999 thinking there were probably other folks out there who might be working on free library software or looking for same. Their reasons for wanting to see Open Source take off in the library software arena are straightforward, fairly typical, and mostly outlined in the Open Source Systems for Libraries: Getting Started piece.
