Technology is fear for beginners it is not tough. There are number of open source tools for ICT - (well tested and widely applied) available which can be freely downloaded and implemented with minimal desired customization. This won't impact in libraries shrinking budget. Only we need to acquire hardware and download freely available tools.
No doubt there is huge list of open source tools available on the web but to start with here I am mentioning a few well known widely used tools which I came across on which any one can work out for there respective libraries:
1. NewGenLib or Koha (Library automation tool)
2. DSpace, GSDL or ePrints (Digital Library).
3. Moodle (Elearning tool)
4. Joomla or Drupal (CMS)
5. WordPress (Blog tool)
6. MediaWiki (Wiki tool)
7. OpenURL suite (CUFTS - knowledge base consortia tool, Godot - Link resolver & DbWiz - Federated search engine)
