Description
With many open-source solutions available to libraries, we are often faced with the choice of whether to “build or buy” - should we invest in developers, or outsource to a service provider? In this session, a former systems librarian who now works at Elsevier shares her experiences making "build or buy” decisions and advocating for stakeholder support. She will discuss the pros, cons, and the (sometimes painful) lessons learned along the way.
