2023. Judges grant OPALS the 2023 MLA Platinum Award
LibraryWorks has published the new edition (2023) of its Modern Library Awards in a special addition to Library Products & Services News magazine. MLA is an impartial program that recognizes the best products and services serving the library industry. Nominees first submitted brief descriptions of their proposals for review. Then these descriptions were then shared with LibraryWorks readers, including librarians from public, academic, school and special libraries, who rated them on a scale of 1 to 10. As a result, the open-source automated library system OPALS once again received the prestigious Platinum Award.
