Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), a private R1 research university known for its applied research and leadership in technology innovation, has joined the global network of institutions using FOLIO. The university has migrated to the interoperable library services platform hosted and supported by EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO), creating a unified infrastructure to enhance research, teaching, and access across its academic community.
The George C. Gordon Library, which supports thousands of students and faculty across disciplines ranging from robotics and biotechnology to data science and the humanities, is adopting FOLIO as a modern, scalable platform. This transition consolidates core library services into a single interoperable environment, reducing system complexity and enabling more efficient, connected operations. By aligning systems and processes, the library aims to deliver a seamless experience for researchers, instructors, and students.
More than 300 institutions worldwide now use EBSCO FOLIO Services to support their library operations, reflecting the growing demand for flexible, interoperable platforms that meet evolving institutional needs. This expansion highlights both the strength of the FOLIO community and the trusted partnerships libraries have established with EBSCO.
Andrew Nagy, Director of SaaS Innovation at EBSCO Information Services, stated that WPI’s decision underscored the momentum for modern, adaptable library infrastructure. He explained that as more research institutions adopt FOLIO, the community continues to expand what is possible. Nagy added that WPI’s leadership in science and technology makes it an ideal partner in delivering a connected library experience that supports innovation, flexibility, and institutional autonomy.
