Open by default: The role of open source software in building flexible, 
future-ready higher education libraries. FREE webinar FREE Higher 
Education Library Technology (HELibTech) webinar 13 October. 14.00 UK 
Time

"Built on the principles of collaboration, transparency and shared 
innovation, open source software is backed by government guidance, and 
yet still often misunderstood or overlooked in the UK academic library 
context. Why is this? and what benefits could your institutions be 
missing out on because of it?"

In this webinar, Ken Chad and Paul Verlander from HELibTech will be 
joined by Open Fifth, a UK-based company who provide support and 
development services for open source library software. We’ll discuss the 
opportunities and hesitations of adopting open source within higher 
education institutions. The session will explore themes including 
flexibility, interoperability, and community-driven development, 
alongside practical considerations such as sustainability, governance, 
and integration with existing systems.

Very best
Ken
