Open Library Solutions was founded back in 2012 with the mission to deliver a modern and easy to use web portal to libraries across scandinavia.
We are located in Umeå, Sweden where a team of creative developers develop Saga and it´s backend Open Library Access (OLA).
Saga is our flagship product that is used by hundreds of libraries across Sweden, Norway and Finland. It delivers a modern web portal with a focus on ease of use and speed.
It is built with the latest technologies and standards being WCAG2 AA compliant while delivering a great user experience.
Thanks to the integration engine Open Library Access, Saga works with several library systems such as Mikromarc, Book-IT and Gemini and also a range of providers of electronic media and covers.
We built Saga as an easy solution for the library to focus on their content without needing an in-depth knowledge of the web or the platform.
No matter if you want to write reviews, articles or information about events in the library, anyone should be able to manage a Saga website.
To create a great website you need great features. Therefore Saga comes with a ton of built-in features that has been tailored for the libraries needs.
Saga features an intuitive editor for opening hours that gives an excellent overview while still being really easy to use.
This is completely built in into Saga without any external dependencies such as Google Calendar or similar services.
Out of the box Saga is fully localized to Swedish, English, Finnish and Norweigan Bokmål.
An administrator can also change any localized value to better suit the current website.
All forms are tightly integrated into Saga without the use of any external services such as Google Forms, SurveyMonkey or similar services.
Libraries host a lot of different events and exhibitions and their website is a big part of promiting them.
Saga therefore comes with first class support for both events (single events or recurring ones) as well as exhibitions that take place over a specified period of time.
This is handled 100% within Saga with close connections to libraries that host the events without any external dependencies such as Google Calendar.
