The University of Tennessee at Martin (UT Martin) and Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) will be transitioning to the FOLIO Library Services Platform (LSP) using EBSCO FOLIO hosting and implementation services from EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO). Both universities will be fully live with FOLIO by summer 2021.
EBSCO is one of the original founders of the FOLIO project and provides implementation, hosting and support through EBSCO FOLIO. The University of Tennessee at Martin and Middle Tennessee State University are the first institutions in the state to begin transitioning to the FOLIO LSP. UT Martin and MTSU will serve as an example of how Tennessee universities can benefit from the innovativeness and flexibility of EBSCO FOLIO.
EBSCO FOLIO can easily integrate with existing EBSCO resources for better library workflows and patron services including the EBSCO Knowledge Base, which streamlines electronic resource management, and EBSCO Discovery Service™ (EDS). UT Martin and MTSU will be using EDS as the institution’s search solution. During this transition, UT Martin will also start leveraging OpenAthens for single sign-on authentication, and MTSU will transition to Full Text Finder to provide a fast, reliable search experience.
