The FOLIO Library Services Platform (LSP)
FOLIO is an entirely new LSP, the first to be launched in over 10 years. FOLIO provides a community collaboration of libraries, vendors and developers, coming together to build an open-source library services platform.
FOLIO moves beyond the traditional integrated library system (ILS), allowing anyone to build on its core functionality or extend the platform through development of applications that deliver new services. FOLIO supports both core applications and extensible modules utilising a microservices architecture that encourages both flexibility and innovation.
FOLIO supports core library management functionality across domains including circulation, cataloguing, acquisitions and electronic resource management. FOLIO functionality is comprised of apps, which support the various tasks within each domain. Because the platform uses smaller, modular apps, libraries benefit from easier updates and faster development.
EBSCO FOLIO Services
EBSCO FOLIO is a complete service offering support for FOLIO including implementation and data migration services, hosting in the EBSCO AWS infrastructure and support for the FOLIO platform. EBSCO FOLIO also includes value-added integrations with the EBSCO Knowledge Base, EBSCO Discovery Service, GOBI, Panorama analytics and EBSCONET and more.
EBSCO FOLIO Integrations
As FOLIO is an open system, the APIs and utilities developed are available to connect with a variety of external systems and services. FOLIO is built as a malleable framework that provides a versatile environment, responding directly to the unique needs of each library. This architecture also allows for easy development and integration of FOLIO services into other solutions, making FOLIO infinitely extendable and customisable.
