ILS Problem In Indonesia
Before SLiMS came out, many libraries in
Indonesia can’t afford ILS because of:
– limited fund, less attention from central
government and also local government,
– Very expensive proprietary library softwares,
– Existing open source softwares are very
hard to install slims.web.id/web – github.com/slims

Why Grassroots Revolution? Simple, SLiMS create
FREEDOM!
for small to medium libraries to use,
to learn, to modify their ILS with
minimal funds (or no funds at all)
