About FOLIO
The Mission
The FOLIO project aims to facilitate a sustainable, community-driven collaboration around the creation of a modern technology ecosystem that empowers libraries through open source applications to manage library resources and expand library value.
FOLIO is hosted by the Open Library Foundation, an independent not-for-profit organization designed to ensure the availability, accessibility and sustainability of open source and open access projects for and by libraries.
A Community Collaboration
The FOLIO community is an open source, transparent collaboration of librarians, developers and vendors. The development of the platform is based on agile methodology with oversight from a Product Council. The community utilizes a number of communication channels to work, share and talk.
