Following a comprehensive process, the library has selected the open-source FOLIO library services platform for its next-generation library management system.  A library management system is the software used to manage the basic housekeeping functions of a library and keep track of the library's collection.

FOLIO presents a fit-for-purpose solution for reimagining the Library's collection management capability with a platform that can grow with the library as our needs evolve. 

The library selected a vendor-hosted solution for implementation and this will be supported by EBSCO FOLIO Services during 2022-2023. 

The National Library of Australia acknowledges Australia’s First Nations Peoples – the First Australians – as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of this land and gives respect to the Elders – past and present – and through them to all Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
