Developers of FOLIO, the new, collaborative, open-source LSP (Library Services Platform) that the Missouri State University Libraries is implementing, along with many other peer and aspirational universities in North America and Europe, have been giving flower names of various versions of the software, in alphabetical order. The Fameflower version, following the Edelweiss release (now you’ll have that song in mind for the rest of the day), which will be our initial production software, will be available very soon, perhaps as soon as tomorrow. 

If current plans and timelines are maintained — a big IF during this pandemic — Missouri State University may have the distinction of being the first library in the United States to fully implement FOLIO. Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has been using FOLIO for some time now, and Cornell University is using the ERM (E-Resources Management) module.
