21 Helping Libraries Leverage Their Strengths to Maximize Use Discovery provider that actually allows libraries to compete with Google for the attention of all their end users EBSCO (and libraries) have two things Google does not: Huge collections of journals, e-books, etc., most of which are NOT freely available on the web Subject indexing for nearly every important piece of research ever published (depending on the library s collection)

22 Expanding access to journal literature worldwide EBSCO has made many journals affordable through aggregated databases EBSCO is a powerful force in increasing the usage and prestige of open access journals 11,000 open access journals have high quality subject indexing in the combination of EBSCO & Wilson indexes Hundreds of millions of page views per year coming from EBSCO bibliographic records to open access journals

23 Subject Indexing & Thesauri are core competencies Applying subject indexing to articles and managing thesauri are core competencies of EBSCO and things we don t see going away This is why EBSCO acquired H.W. Wilson, NISC Indexes, Sage Indexes, CINAHL Information Systems, SPORTDiscus, ABC-CLIO Indexes, and dozens of others This is why we partner with most other subject index providers to find acceptable ways to integrate their indexing and thesauri into EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS)

24 In addition to Discovery & Databases, EBSCO is leader in distribution of e-books & e-journals The platform for libraries to use for purchasing: Individual e-books Subscription model e-books Individual e-journals E-packages EBSCO continues to invest heavily in these areas EBSCO has developed a way to dramatically improve the user experience for linking to a library s e-journals and e-packages

25 Partnerships EBSCO is NOT an ILS vendor We believe it is more likely to accomplish our goals as a discovery provider if we partner with ILS vendors, rather than compete EBSCO has partnered with 24 of the 25 largest academic ILS vendors in the world EBSCO is a Kuali Member, and contributor to Kuali, VuFind, Blacklight, etc.

26 ILS Partners Include: astec Bookhouse Culture & Sci Tech Co. CALYX Capita Talis Civica BSZ Futurenuri Hyweb Kuali OLE Innovative Interfaces IZUM L.A. Information Technology Logica Czech Republic Mirtech Inc. OCLC Pergamom SirsiDynix Sophia Soutron Yordam

27 Rethinking the ILS FOLIO: OPEN SOURCE Dragan Nikolic RSM SE Europe 27

28 EBSCO is funding the creation of an open source LSP: FOLIO FOLIO will include full-featured ILS/LMS functionality and will be extensible to support add-on modules. 28

29 Our industry has witnessed a trend toward vendor consolidation, resulting in: closed systems less choice less innovation higher costs The FOLIO goal is open systems, more choice, more innovation, lower costs 29

30 30 FOLIO is a COMMUNITY of peers including: academic libraries, OLE Partners, Index Data, EBSCO & others

31 FOLIO: The Engaged Community is Growing 31

32 FOLIO: The Engaged Community is Growing 32

33 FOLIO Participation librarians have signed up to participate on FOLIO.org 500+ librarians have indicated interest in assisting with software development 800+ attendees at 4 recent community forums 1,700+ Slack messages per week 33

34 MODULAR Choose applications from a marketplace 34

35 BASE APPLICATIONS App App App App Acquisitions Cataloging Circulation Data Conversion Tools Knowledgebase OPAC Functionality Resource Sharing Serials Check-In Union Catalog 35

36 EXTENSIBLE Extend into new areas App App App App Content Management Systems Data Mining Grant Management Institutional Repositories Learning Management Systems Linked Data Triplestore Predictive Analytics Research Data App App 36

37 PLATFORM of choice APIs throughout Completely open Anyone can build apps 37

38 HOSTING by libraries Any library may load and operate FOLIO code locally Completely free for the library, except for staff and hosting / server expenses 38

39 In addition to SirsiDynix and ByWater, EBSCO will offer hosting, service and support for libraries that want a fully supported open source solution: FOLIO 39
