About the Open Library Environment Project

With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a multinational group of libraries is developing the design for an Open Library Environment (OLE), an alternative to the current model of an Integrated Library System. The goal is to produce a design document to inform open source library system development efforts, to guide future library system implementations, and to influence current Integrated Library System vendor products.

Regional Design Workshops - University of Florida - December

Staff from the University of Florida will conduct Business Process Modeling within their Libraries through early December. The resulting models will be sent to the consortia representing both the state university libraries (FCLA) and the state community colleges (CCLA) for comment, and the resulting package will be incorporated into the OLE design process in January.
