Dear Rakesh,
OSS - Free of cost, source code can be manipulated, license free
Paid Library Software - everything have to be paid, even after sale maintenance cost is there.
I feel that OSS is better and every library should use the OSS in the library, so that the money that is spend in the paid library software can be diverted for other useful purposes.

OSS is not necessarily free, yes it comes with the source code......but how many library professionals can manipulate the source code on their own......I think no one has this expertise. Secondly not many OSS are Windows Compatible.....KOHA comes with a windows compatible version, but have too many maintenance issues...... Libsys is a costly software but comes with a strong customer support base that too is paid........If yours is a small library or having small budget .....there are many other indigenous software.....try them out too....
