11 ILS Products Proprietary library purchases a license to the software but cannot make major changes no access to the programming code must contract with the vendor for annual maintenance 11

12 ILS Products Open Source the source code is freely available the software is freely usable these terms of open use are perpetuated indefinitely through the license 12

13 ILS Vendors Sirsi/Dynix Innovative Interfaces Ex Libris VTLS Infor Polaris Mandarin, Insignia, Apollo, Auto Graphics 13

14 ILS Open Source Products KOHA Evergreen (Sitka or Conifer) 14

15 What is impacting ILS products? Increased pressure on physical facilities Increased use of print collections Demand for e-books Need better tools to access multi-format collections Need to integrate locally digitized materials 15

16 What is impacting ILS products? Enhancing the experience for library patrons Self service options E-book purchase 16

17 Changes in technology Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud Computing 17

18 Discovery Systems Still unsuccessful at integrating all resources Books, DVDs, CDs, etc. integrated in OPAC E-books searchable but takes patron to another interface Journal articles not always successfully searched Digitized collections separate, community resource databases, etc. 18

19 Discovery Systems Pre-built indexes of all resources libraries owns or subscribes to ILS data harvested and added to a consolidated index Digital collections, Ebsco databases, etc. all indexed together Provides more comprehensive search results to patron with holdings data and full-text articles 19
