Primer on Evidence Synthesis is a self-led, online course providing a strong introduction to key terminology and important principles. It is aimed at those who are new to evidence synthesis or need a rapid initiation into the subject. View the course<https://evidence-synthesis-skills.cabi.org/courses/general-evidence-synthes…> Primer on Evidence Synthesis is designed to help people and organizations develop understanding and embed a common language around evidence synthesis, and helps to answer questions such as: * What is evidence synthesis and why is it important? * What different types of evidence syntheses are there? * What are reporting standards, and why are they important? * What makes a good evidence synthesis? Using agrifoods as a context, the content can be applied across multiple disciplines.

FOLIO: The Open-Source Library Services Platform Revolutionizing Library Management
by Salman Haider 29 Nov '25

29 Nov '25

*FOLIO (Future of Libraries Is Open)* is a community-driven, open-source library services platform (LSP) that is transforming the library operations and technology landscape. Moving beyond the limitations of traditional, proprietary Integrated Library Systems (ILS), FOLIO offers a modern, flexible, and extensible solution built for the digital era. FOLIO is designed to support traditional library operations (like cataloging, circulation, and acquisitions) while enabling innovation through modular architecture. Unlike monolithic ILS systems, FOLIO is built as a collection of apps that work together through a shared platform. Developed collaboratively by libraries, vendors, and open-source developers—including major contributions from EBSCO and Index Data—FOLIO represents both a system and a community-driven ecosystem. In recent years, libraries have been navigating a rapidly evolving landscape shaped by digital transformation, growing user expectations, and the need for more flexible, open, and interoperable systems. Traditional integrated library systems (ILS) have struggled to keep pace with these demands. Enter FOLIO—an open-source Library Services Platform (LSP) that is redefining how libraries manage resources, workflows, and services. *Keywords:* FOLIO, Library Services Platform (LSP), Integrated Library System (ILS), Library Software, Future of Libraries Is Open, Open-Source Software (OSS), Library Management System *Source: https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2025/11/folio-open-source-library-serv… <https://www.librarianshipstudies.com/2025/11/folio-open-source-library-serv…> * *Contents* - Key Features and Capabilities 1. Modular, App-Based Architecture 2. Open-Source and Community-Driven 3. Cloud-Native Infrastructure 4. Integrated Print and Electronic Resource Management 5. Powerful APIs for Integration 6. Customizable Workflows and Permissions - Benefits of Using FOLIO in Libraries 1. Freedom from Vendor Lock-In 2. Lower Long-Term Costs and Affordability 3. Future-Proof Technology 4. Rapid Innovation 5. Interoperability 6. User-Friendly Experience 7.

Invitation to participate in the 2025 International Library Automation Perceptions Survey
by Marshall Breeding 27 Nov '25

27 Nov '25

The 2025 edition of the International Library Automation Perceptions Survey is now open. For nearly two decades (since 2007), this annual study conducted through Library Technology Guides<https://librarytechnology.org/> has documented how libraries around the world view the systems they rely on to manage their collections and serve their communities. Your participation is vital in helping the profession understand how well current automation systems and discovery services meet real-world needs. We are especially interested in receiving responses from libraries in India since they are generally unrepresented in international studies on library automation. Please respond for your library and distribute this invitation thorough any other channels that can reach librarians throughout the country. Your efforts will help bring recognition and awareness of the important efforts made to automate the academic, public, school, and special libraries in India. Why your response matters: * Amplify your library’s voice: Your input helps shape an objective picture of vendor performance, product quality, and support satisfaction. * Guide future decisions: The published results inform libraries considering migrations understand the performance of both proprietary and open source solutions. * Provide constructive feedback: Vendors use the findings to improve their products and services. Your candid insights make a difference. While the numeric ratings provide valuable benchmarking data, the narrative comments also provide essential perspectives. All comments are published in anonymized form to protect individual and institutional identities. If you have participated in past years, please consider responding again this year. Your library’s continued input helps identify year-to-year trends in satisfaction and product development. Take the Survey 👉 Begin the 2025 Library Automation Perceptions Survey<https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2025/invite/> You can also review the 2024 survey results<https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2024/> and data from all previous editions on the Library Technology Guides website. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and contribute to this long-standing community resource.
