Abstract
Changing conditions require changing business practices. Academic libraries are not an exception. Current trends require libraries to work more efficiently and in a more agile fashion. Library management systems can facilitate agility and efficiency by providing an open platform that enables integration and extension. A model based on apps takes an open platform to the next level, enabling libraries to develop and deploy apps that reside inside the library system, and enables users to easily activate, access, and use the apps as a part of their daily workflows.
