Open innovation for the modern library
Open source for libraries is about more than just cost-savings. It’s about empowering the library community to have a voice in our future. When librarians, vendors and developers work together to share ideas and design solutions, more innovation can happen.
How EBSCO supports open source
Contributions to open source projects such as the FOLIO Library Services Platform
Integrations with open source ILS vendors such as Koha and Evergreen
Integrations with open source discovery interfaces such as Blacklight and VuFind
Active participation in the Open Library Foundation
Many other open source partnerships and collaborations
EBSCO is the logical partner… They are powerful advocates for both open source and open access. The Koha community is excited to have their involvement and strong support.
