folio

FOLIO is an open-source platform designed for library services. It was created by libraries, developers, and vendors working together to encourage new ideas and manage library resources in both old and new ways. FOLIO is changing library technology by bringing together libraries and vendors to create a shared ownership of the tools that run libraries and how they are managed.

Benefits

FOLIO is built to be modern and adaptable, encouraging new ideas and helping libraries meet their needs now and in the future. Its main strength comes from its large and worldwide community, which includes librarians, developers, vendors, and other groups. This community works together to keep libraries open and thriving.

Use Cases

FOLIO can be used as a library system to manage resources and services. Libraries can use it to adopt new technologies and improve their operations. The platform is also a space for collaboration, where different groups can contribute to its development and future.

Vibes

The Hesburgh Library at Notre Dame has chosen FOLIO as its new library system. Linköping University Library in Sweden has also successfully moved to the FOLIO platform.

Additional Information

The World Open Library Foundation Conference (#WOLFcon24) will take place in London from September 24-26, 2024. People interested in FOLIO can sign up for a monthly newsletter to get updates on the community and events.
