Platform & Roadmap

Demo FOLIO

Status & Roadmap

Platform development is well underway. By 2019, early adopters will have FOLIO running in their libraries.

Phase 1: Alpha Release

The alpha version was released in January 2018. Beta partners will implement and test the version in order to release the beta version in early 2019.


Phase 2: Platform Releases

Code is released early and often. The beta will roll out in early 2019. The community can implement the platform, give feedback and follow development progress.


Phase 3: FOLIO Running in Libraries

By early 2019, it is expected that at least three libraries will have implemented FOLIO as their library services platform.


Phase 4: Early Implementers

Eleven libraries plan to implement FOLIO in 2019. Improvements will occur frequently, based on feedback from early adopters. View the Early Implementers
