There are thousands of Open Source Software. But in my opinion, the following will mostly serve your purpose.
1. Library Management Software Packages : Automatizaciรณn de Bibliotecas y Centros de Documentaciรณn (ABCD) (http://reddes.bvsaude.org/projects/abcd), Evergreen (http://www.open-ils.org/), Koha (http://koha.org/), NewGenLib (http://www.verussolutions.biz).
2. Institutional Repository Software Packages : Dspace (http://www.dspace.org/), EPrints (http://www.eprints.org/software/), Green Stone Digital Library software (GSDL) (http://www.greenstone.org).
3. Content Management System (CMC) : Drupal (http://drupal.org/), Joomla (http://www.joomla.org/), MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki), Zope (http://www.zope.org/).
4. Learning Management System (LMS) : ATutor (http://www.atutor.ca/), Brihaspati (The Virtual Classroom) (http://home.iitk.ac.in/~ynsingh/tool/brihaspati.shtml) (This is of Indian Origin), Claroline (http://www.claroline.net/), Moodle (http://moodle.org/).

To be frank, I dont have an experience on Open Source Software. But I found the expert mostly used to refer to the following softwares. They hope to serve any kind of libraries effectively.
Library Management Software Package: Koha. Website: http://koha.org/
Institutional Repository Software Package: Dspace. Website: http://www.dspace.org/
Content Management System (CMC): Joomla. Website: http://www.joomla.org/.
Learning Management System (LMS) : : Moodle. Website: http://moodle.org/.
