Reminder for ILA Attendees
by Aaron Skog 11 Oct '13

11 Oct '13

SWAN Members, On Behalf of the ILS Committee: Just a reminder for those of you attending ILA Conference that our RFP procurement process for a new integrated library system is still ongoing, and no selection has been made. As you visit the exhibitors at ILA, they may try to probe for "insider" information: "How are the demos going? What do you think of the 3 systems that were chosen? How were those 3 selected? When will a decision be made?" While you are certainly welcome to ask your own questions about their product, please do not comment on the process or any of the feedback you may have heard from demos. Remind vendors that we are still in the midst of the selection process and any questions can be forwarded to me, Aaron Skog (contact info below). Please help us by passing this message along to any fellow staff members attending ILA who may not be on SWANcom. Aaron Skog SWAN Executive Director 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5122 Fax: 630.734.5056 aaron.skog(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:aaron.skog@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
