FOLIO is designed from the ground up as an open platform. Selected apps can be deployed in order to create a highly customized solution. With this modular focus, the library can choose which apps to include or exclude, as desired. FOLIO applications are designed to “snap-in” and easily connect to each other, allowing for libraries to create customized workflows and systems in their FOLIO environment.
EBSCO FOLIO functionality includes apps that are made available through the FOLIO community project as well as apps that are unique to your EBSCO FOLIO implementation.
