EBSCO Supports New Open Source Project


The survival and future of libraries begins with such innovative projects as the one featured in this article. The project borrows from the very successful business models of tech industry giants such as Apple. Instead of developing one rigid software, EBSCO will fund a platform where collaborators are given the autonomy and flexibility needed in order to expand and maintain the system.

"Its launch opens a new chapter in the library technology industry—potentially wielding an even greater impact than the latest rounds of mergers and acquisitions."
