How Can I Get Involved in FOLIO?

FOLIO relies on the community to grow and succeed. We need librarians, developers, vendors and advocates all working together to rethink what a library services platform (LSP) can be. Library strategists can share their visions of how library technology should look and evolve; developers can help create the platform by building or extending apps; experts and advocates can contribute functional knowledge related to workflows.

The project is full of opportunities for you to get involved and contribute, not only to the discussion, but in the shaping of the new platform. Lend your voice to the project as it continues to grow and develop.
