Closed systems are systems which allow users to use content as is, with minimal to modification to the actual system or program. Users may create or email content, but changes to the system are minimal. Content may also live in a proprietary format, which is not compatible with
other products (at least without conversion). Examples of closed systems include many library
catalog softwares, email software such as listservs, Microsoft Office, web browsers, etc. Many pay to play, proprietary software areclosed systems.
