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

OCLC WorldShare ILL update

by Kate Boyle

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ OCLC has announced a new timeline for the migration of WorldCat Resource Sharing to OCLC WorldShare ILL. The following is an excerpt from the ISL E-news : "OCLC has decided to extend access to WorldCat Resource Sharing<http://www.oclc.org/resource-sharing.en.html> to May 2014. The change was made in response to requests from the OCLC interlibrary loan community that OCLC provide additional time for them to fully learn the new WorldShare ILL service while retaining access to WorldCat Resource Sharing. The new schedule for libraries' transitions from WorldCat Resource Sharing to WorldShare ILL is: * All new requests must be placed in WorldShare ILL (no new requests placed in WorldCat Resource Sharing): April 14, 2014 * End of access to WorldCat Resource Sharing: May 19, 2014 Between now and May 19, 2014, OCLC will continue to add new features to the service. The next scheduled release of features is in November 2013. Between November 2013 and February 2014, the service will not change substantially to provide an opportunity to become more familiar with WorldShare ILL during a three-month period when the service remains essentially unchanged." Have a good weekend.

SWAN ILS Search Update: Three Vendors in Round 2

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Member Libraries & Task Force Groups: The SWAN ILS Committee met last week for two days and reviewed the five vendor proposals in response to the SWAN RFP for its next integrated library system software. The Committee has selected three vendors based on scoring outlined on in our RFP (pages 24 & 25). The three vendors that will be scheduled for software demonstrations will be (listed in alphabetical order): *Equinox Software *SirsiDynix *VTLS Any scoring used within the ILS Committee for the second phase will be set to "zero" so please keep in mind that there are no front runners with the three vendors. All are on equal footing for the next round of the process, which will include feedback from the seven Task Force groups. The dates for the software demonstrations requested Task Force groups to reserve October 3 & 4, October 7 & 8, and October 10 & 11. The vendors attending those dates has not been set as they are being arranged with this announcement. As soon as they are set and the days agendas are prepared you will be able to register for the events in the Library Learning (L2) calendar. Library staff will have an opportunity to attend upon registration and have questions answered during the demonstrations. The vendors Innovative Interfaces and Polaris have been notified about the results of our process. Information on the ILS search can be found online under the Migration Bulletin menu: http://support.swanlibraries.net/news/category/ils-search Regards, Aaron 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
