DESCRIPTION


The organization is seeking a vendor to provide an Integrated Library System (ILS) to manage and control both internal and external library operations, including materials acquisition, cataloging and processing, patron circulation and accounts, public access interface, and system administration and reports.

The proposed ILS should support all branches through a unified catalog, sharing bibliographic and patron records while allowing for branch-level item records and policies. The system must offer flexible and customizable collection management, supporting sub-collections, floating collections, items without a designated home location, and specialized categories such as new books or 'lucky day' collections. Record locking capabilities are required to ensure data integrity when records are being updated or modified.

All necessary client software must be compatible with recent versions of Windows 10 and 11. The system should support a shared bibliographic database, displaying library, date, and user information for creation and modification of records within the staff interface. Additionally, the ILS must include a fully featured online acquisitions subsystem to manage encumbrances, disencumbrances, and expenditures across multiple library-defined funds, including all essential activities from selection to report generation.

Interested vendors must submit all questions by July 1, 2026.
