The Future
• Disintegrated or Non-integrated System– Various modules/components from various
vendors• Open Source
Local Databases
• Newspaper indexes• Community information• Digital archives
Statistics and Reports
• An important function of the ILS is to provide statistics and reports.– Circulation stats– Budget reports– Collection reports
Accuracy of data
• Any system is only as good as the data it contains.
• Data entry can be the weakest link.• Importance of security and authorizations
Database Terminology• Database – electronic filing system• Field

Is an ILS a relational database
• Microsoft Access• What is a relational database?• How does it relate to an ILS?• One-to-One• One-to-Many
Database Design
• How do you determine how many tables you need?
• What fields you need? • How to prevent redundant data?
Authorization
• Public access• Various levels of staff access• Grant access that is needed to perform
job duties
Turnkey System vs. software only
• Out-of-the-box• Software needs to be installed on
server
Open Source Software
• Software that is freely available for people to use and develop
• Evergreen by Georgia PINES – http://open-ils.org/
Systems Administration• Backup• Managing authorizations
Next Generation• Aquabrowser
– http://www.tlcdelivers.com/aquabrowser – Graphical cloud
• Encore– SFPL
• WorldCat.org – http://worldcat.org/ – Faceted browse
• WPopac– http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11133/ – Tagging and comments
Troubleshooting
