- First Free/Open source integrated library management systems (ILS) appeared in the late 1990', but, in Belgium, we had to wait 2004 to get a first feedback concerning PMB, and 2007 for another concerning Koha. Are other Open-source ILS used in Belgium? Why go for an Open-source ILS? Fifty-one Belgian libraries or documentation centres that use an Open-source ILS has been identified. With the results of two surveys, we are able to provide a first overview of the Belgian status regarding Open-source ILS. The most frequent is PMB. A user group has been created to provide tranings and complete the traduction of the software in Dutch (PMB is already available in French and English). Koha and oBiblio are less used. It will be useful to follow the evolution of Open-source ILS in the future, but also their position regarding commercial ILS.
