[Nmsalsa] FW: Koha and Polaris discussions

[Carrington, Bradley, DCA]

Hello SALSA and Museum Hill,

Please participate in our discussions on Polaris and Koha.  See message below.

If we can get at least 3 other SALSA libraries represented (Susan represents 2!!) then we'd have a quorum and could have a quick official SALSA meeting.

So, please predict which session(s) you will attend and I'll arrange to append a SALSA meeting if it looks like we'll make quorum.

And hello to Brian and Allison!  The State Library would like to fund your participation in the new ILS.  You are welcome to officially join SALSA.  So, if you'd like to, you can at least join in our ILS discussions and help us to develop RFP specs.  For example, we can specify that the LOA bib database be separate.

Thank you!

Brad

Hello all,

Please try to attend one or more of these discussion sessions, even if you don't use Koha or Polaris.  I will be managing an RFP-based procurement to merge our separate systems into one or the other, or, perhaps into a different ILS altogether.  (ILS=integrated library system)

Let's start first by listing all of the pros and cons of our existing systems.

Thank you for your opinion.  The ILS we use figures into the daily work for many of us and we should proceed carefully with our plans.

Yucca Room -- State Library
Tuesday August 13th at 2:00
Wednesday August 21st at 10:00
