In this webinar, Ken Chad and Paul Verlander from HELibTech will be
joined by Open Fifth, a UK-based company who provide support and
development services for open source library software. We’ll discuss the
opportunities and hesitations of adopting open source within higher
education institutions. The session will explore themes including
flexibility, interoperability, and community-driven development,
alongside practical considerations such as sustainability, governance,
and integration with existing systems.
Very best
