Kay Bauman discussed the original purpose of the Tech Support committee as a way to address staff and customer suggestions on our integrated library system (ILS). The committee was comprised to gain different perspectives of users at all levels. With upcoming changes to our technology philosophy and the process of moving to a new ILS, the committee will evolve. One impact is that no more modifications to the ILS System will be made since we will be moving to a different one.
As the ILS Task Force researches other integrated library system vendors, the Tech Support committee members will play some part in testing new ILS software and systems and provide perspectives on their use. There is no timeframe of involvement at this time.
