VTLS and Fedora

Lorcan

Eric drew my attention to a press release noting that VTLS is going to support the open source digital asset management system, Fedora, as part of their product range.

Blacksburg, VA – VTLS announced today the debut of a new era in library automation with the company becoming the first major ILS vendor to lead the way in the embracement of open-source software as the foundation of a suite of new product and service offerings. VTLS, after extensive analysis, selected FEDORA� from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville and Cornell University, as the open source software to serve as the basis of digital asset management software to be called VITAL.
