"The goal of the Kuali Open Library Environment Project is to define a next-generation technology environment based on a thoroughly re-examined model of library business operations. The model will then be used to develop specifications for a next generation community-sourced library management system, Kuali OLE (pronounced oh-LAY). This software system will be a part of the academic enterprise technology framework and will scale up to connect with other enterprise technology systems within the academic and administrative computing environment. The software system will also be capable of scaling down for stand-alone library use."
