Kay Bauman (LO) stated that the first update on the purchase of a new Integrated Library System was posted on the intranet in June 2012 and that it has been and will continue to be a long and complicated process through the final implementation. As of this meeting, the recommended ILS has not been chosen but is expected to be finalized in the next few days. References from libraries using the different systems are currently being checked and each vendor is undergoing a vetting process. The ILS Task Force recommendation will be taken to the Finance Committee on Monday, November 11 and then to the Commission on November 21. The next step will be negotiations with the chosen vendor.
