Government libraries

‘Koha LMS for government department libraries‘ – Meet Jonathan Field, Open Fifth co-founder and account manager. In this webinar, Jonathan shares how the Koha library management system is being used across the UK and beyond to provide the robust, flexible, and secure solution required by government departments to manage vital resources efficiently

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

We believe that there is a natural alignment between the values of government libraries and open source software, including knowledge sharing, equal access to information, value for money and transparency.

Government libraries choose Koha library management system 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.
