LIBRARY SYSTEMS REPORT 2015: Operationalizing innovation

Libraiy services platforms, in production use since 2011, have passed into the realm of routine offerings, especially for academic libraries in desperate need of systems that can manage both electronic and print resources. Many innovative products and services fall outside the scope of what surveyed organizations and this report cover, including content products oriented to libraries, reference services, general productivity tools, or other technology products addressing more specialized aspects of libraiy operations. A significant transition happened in the arena of higher educationoriented open source software with the launch of KualiCo, a commercial company that will develop and offer services for the suite of products associated with the Kuali Foundation.
