Koha and Evergreen are the two major open-source integrated library systems (ILSs), and they continue to grow in maturity and popularity. The question remains as to how much we have achieved in open-source development toward the next-generation catalog compared to commercial systems. Little has been written in the library literature to answer this question. This paper intends to answer this question by comparing  the next-generation features of the OPACs of two open-source ILSs (Koha and Evergreen) and one proprietary ILS (Voyager’s WebVoyage).</p>}, number={3}, journal={Information Technology and Libraries}, author={Yang, Sharon Q. and Hofmann, Melissa A.}, year={2010}, month={Sep.}, pages={141–150} }
