Director of Technical Services at the University of Chicago and Co-Chair of the FOLIO Product Council, Kristin Martin, explains the importance of a progressive LSP that meets every library's needs. "To keep up with evolving library workflows, FOLIO is committed to evolving with them. As more libraries implement the LSP, FOLIO developers are ready to enhance or replace platform components to meet their unique needs. The Orchid Release exemplifies FOLIO's commitment to listening to its members and offering the enhancements that greatly improve their experience."
