Our experience

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

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

Law 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.
