Is open source software are viable solution for libraries ?

Nowadays Execellent open source software are available for both ILMS (Intregated library management system) and digital library (DL) management. Examples of few of them are Koha, Evergreen, Newgenlib for ILMS and GSDL and Dspace for digital library management. 

But majority of libraries are not able to implement them. Therefore question arieses,  Is open source software are viable solution for libraries?

i think no because when u using OSS in your library and reach the large no. of data the OSS will creates the problems like dhobi ka gadha ghar ka na ghat ka
I think this may be personal perception, but reality is that OSS is nowadays mature enough to handle large numbers of data without any hassles. There are numbers of OSS software like Koha, Greenstone, GSDL and dspace which are able to handle large numbers of data. Out side of Library also there are mature OSS which are largly used Like Linux with variuos flavour, Php, Mozilla etc.
M much interested in implementing koha how well will it be and do you think it is much better than libsys
No doubt about it, Koha is much better than libsys
