Looking forward to visiting Berlin again, invited to hold a keynote at the GBV-konferenz 2024. Today I am also meeting with the SBB and IAI libraries to discuss their FOLIO implementations. Very exciting!

Exciting news: the National Library of Sweden has made a strategic decision to implement two free and open library software solutions: the Library Service Platform FOLIO and discovery solution VuFind, both open-source software.

On my way to Linköping for two days devoted to FOLIO, which aims to both provide information for interested libraries as well as (hopefully) forming a Swedish community. The event is fully booked (since a few weeks!), so I am looking forward to meeting lots of old and new colleagues! #folio_sweden #folio #LibraryTechnology #libraryOSS
