Abstract
Libraries and academic institutions today are moving towards adoption of open source software for various organizational functions. Some of the open source software used by libraries include ABCD, Koha, Newgenlib, Evergreen, OPALs, Greenstone, Eprint, Dspace, Drupal, Open Biblio, Jhoomla and Plone. The above software can be used to better library functions and operations as well as improve teaching and learning in the discipline of Library and Information Science (LIS). LIS is considered as a cross cutting discipline that aims at training information professionals to serve in different capacities around the world. This report therefore covers different aspects of how ABCD can be used as a didactic tool in Library and Information Science.
