About the webinar/live event
FOLIO, the first new open library management system, is a collaboration of libraries, developers and vendors building an open-source library services platform. It supports traditional resource management functionality and can be extended into other institutional areas.
Learn more about the importance of open library management systems and how they could benefit your institutions with Knowledge E, our leading FOLIO partner for implementation, hosting and support services in the United Arab Emirates.
Throughout this webinar you will learn how to:
- Create a space where the library community can come together to innovate, have a conversation and consider the needs and ambitions of libraries
- Leverage open source in a way that lowers what libraries spend on systems and support
- Improve products by increasing library involvement in development
