University of Ferrara (Unife) and University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE) are the first two Italian universities to choose EBSCO FOLIO’s Electronic Resource Management (ERM). This transition to the EBSCO FOLIO ERM is the first step for libraries looking to fully adopt the FOLIO Library Services Platform (LSP).
The EBSCO FOLIO ERM allows libraries to manage the entire cycle of electronic resources — from initial evaluation to user access. The ERM integrates with the EBSCO Knowledge Base, which contains all library holdings, and EBSCO Discovery Service® (EDS), which ensures users have immediate and seamless access to the library's electronic resources.
According to EBSCO’s Vice President of Sales Latin Europe and Israel Gianluca Di Bella, this is a step forward in creating more choice and interoperability for Italian university libraries.
EBSCO is one of the original founders of the FOLIO project and provides implementation, hosting and support through EBSCO FOLIO. Unife and UNIMORE are the first university libraries in Italy to begin transitioning to the FOLIO LSP and will serve as an example of how Italian universities can benefit from the innovativeness and flexibility of EBSCO FOLIO.
