ILS: Things We Learned in Week 4

This is our fourth week of the new ILS and we are still learning... I understand things can be frustrating, but realize that each day we are getting that much closer to being in 'full-swing'! Here are some things you should know:

Materials Services Division Carl.X Issues/Decisions

Managers had been asked to submit a list of questions prior to the meeting.  Some of the questions were discussed and decisions made; other issues are still pending. Karen announced that she would like to discuss any issues involving multiple departments first.

PIE Meeting Minutes - July 25, 2013

The new 330 RFP has been in use for 24 days. When Jon began looking at the data and the way it export he feels ‘joy’ because it works beautifully. Jon showed us how he created a macro in Excel that translates the codes in the mlsBudget expenditure report so that we can more easily interpret the data. He also created a macro that generates several charts, which he explained. This information will help managers make better data driven decisions. Jon pointed out that this Excel file does not show us indirect costs and does not have any data validation.

Updated RFP for 330 Account

As LaVetta Dent, Jana Hausburg and Julie Ballou shared at the May 2013 Manager of Library Operations meeting, there is a newly formed committee, convened on an as-need basis at the request of the Deputy Executive Director of Library Operations.  The committee’s goal is to assist managers in managing the library resources by reviewing both direct and indirect costs, reviewing current procedures, identifying new approaches and developing tools and guidelines.  The name of the committee is PIE (Procedures and Implementation, Evolved).

Integrated Library System Update - February 2013

We received 5 responses to the RFI sent to potential ILS vendors. The task force will be reviewing these as to the vendor’s response to information and their ability to do the required tasks in preparation for the request for proposals and bid process.

Integrated Library System Update - January 2013

Our Internal task force, Lloyd Lovely, Donna Morris, Karen Marriott, Kay Bauman and Anne Fischer have worked on identifying prospective vendors for a new ILS system throughout the fall as previously mentioned in the September Executive Director’s report to the commission. We met with 4 vendors and viewed demonstrations and had Q & A sessions with each one, and had a couple of follow up sessions with one or two vendors. We reviewed Requests for Information that had been used by other library systems and prepared one for MLS.

ILS Task Force Meeting Minutes for August 27, 2012

Anne updated the group on the communication she has had with the vendors since our demos.

Polaris sent information on a test system and she can now see the administrative module. However, it’s the previous version. They will upgrade the test system soon. The new version of Polaris is a complete revision so it is not really comparable with the previous version.

ILS Task Force Meeting Minutes for July 31, 2012

One goal of the demos is to gain information about the particular ILS to formulate a RFP (Request for Proposal). Currently, we have three (3) demos scheduled:

August 14 8:30-noon (DN) – Polaris
August 15 8:30-noon (DN) – SIRSI
August 16, 8:30-noon (DN) - iii

At this time, only the ILS Task Force members will be present for the demos. Later, we will invite others to participate in further demonstrations of the products (as discussed at the July 2012 Tech Support meeting)
