FOLIO
FOLIO 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.

We strongly believe that the services we bring to the table along with the talent our organization attracts will make us the best-suited service partner to usher in this new platform.
