The Seton Hall University Libraries (SHU) will transition to the FOLIO Library Services Platform (LSP) using EBSCO FOLIO hosting and implementation services from EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO). SHU Libraries will undergo phased implementation and is expected to be entirely live on FOLIO by January 2025.
The SHU Libraries’s aim is to create and implement tools that are easy to use, suit researchers’ needs and can work with their current and prospective library systems. EBSCO FOLIO joins in this mission to aid the university in implementing the open-source LSP, marrying openness and accessibility with the innovation and collaboration that make up the FOLIO platform.
FOLIO works seamlessly with existing solutions, streamlining workflows and providing ease of access and better innovative possibilities for the University Libraries. Through FOLIO’s customizable architecture, the University Libraries will be free to choose applications for its unique system while avoiding their previous ILS's forced packages and predetermined workflows. As existing and active users of EBSCO Discovery Service™(EDS) and OpenAthens, FOLIO presented itself as the most practical option for the Libraries. Using OpenAthens with EDS provides SHU Libraries’ end users with a complete solution that joins library resources with seamless access anytime, anywhere, on any device.
