must contract with the vendor for annual maintenance
ILS Products

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