Academic libraries

‘Koha LMS for academic libraries‘ – Meet our academic library account manager Sam. In this webinar, Sam demonstrates how the Koha LMS is used in university, college and school libraries to assist library team workflows, support academic research and resource access.

We proudly work with academic libraries throughout the UK and overseas, providing implementation, support and training for open source library software.

We believe that there is a natural alignment between the values of academic libraries and open source software, including knowledge sharing, equal access to information, innovation, transparency, and cost-effectiveness.

Academic libraries choose Koha LMS and Aspen Discovery software because they are comprehensive, engaging and user-focused solutions that meet their needs with a suite of available integrations. By using open source software, not proprietary, libraries don’t pay expensive licensing fees or face vendor lock-in and also benefit from a global open source development and user community.

At Open Fifth, our focus is on delivering high-quality implementation, training and support for libraries and building lasting relationships with the customers we serve.
