Do we still need an ILS? Yes, but

Do we still need an ILS? Yes, but the new ILS will be different from the ILS we have been using

Do we still need an ILS? The new ILS will: Be leaner, more lightweight, more open Allow for interchangeable modules for application flexibility Introduce competition via a module market, since it will be based on a robust platform not a single entity Think of a market-driven app store where libraries can use a vendor s module, or develop their own, or use the campus system equivalent (use campus accounting rather than an ILS Acquisitions module) Introduce a truly open system for libraries

Current ILS or Resource Management Library Services Platform Discovery Serials Cataloging Acquisitions Circulation ERM Ranking Link Management Transactions Content Funds Holdings Users This represents single vendor lock-in and offers no choice for the library and library users
