Present Age of information a lot of information and tools lying open on global network to facilitate the users community to access the required information in its desired format. Open source softwares , open source on line journals and such others .

Dear noushia Madam,

Ur's question is free access to open source n its coverage?

Ans.

Open source is a source code for computer
program
m  which is made available
without charge by the owner or licenser, usually via the Internet, to
encourage the rapid development of a more useful and bug-free product
through open peer
review
. The practice also allows the product to be customized by its users
to suit local needs (example:
Linux operating
system
, JAVA open source). To be certified "open source" under the
Open Source Initiative (OSI), software must
meet certain established criteria that include no restrictions
on access. In Library and Information science field CDS/ISIS, WINISIS etc are
open source software. Its coverage areas are vast. Linux is used around the
globe wich supports mainly all the applications while JAVA  is a programming language which is used  to develop web-based as well as console based
application.
