Oceanside CA— The Oceanside Public Library has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking qualified vendors to supply and support a web-based, hosted, Integrated Library System (ILS), also known as a Library Management System or Library Services Platform. Such systems go far beyond providing the digital equivalent of a “card catalog” and other traditional library tools, and have become of great value to Libraries’ customers as well as their staffs and volunteers. The ILS provided will be expected:
to be web-based and hosted–critical to economic and technological sustainability
to offer all of the current system’s services or equivalents
to provide improved levels of customer response, both self-service and staff-mediated
to offer integration and efficiency for services that are not connected to the current ILS
to deliver timely implementation and all needed training and support.
The RFP may be found on the City’s website:
https://www.ci.oceanside.ca.us/gov/pw/propmgmt/opps/ils.asp
Proposals must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. PST on Friday, October 27, 2017. Please direct all questions to Samuel Liston, Library Technology Analyst, at sliston@ci.oceanside.ca.us no later than Friday, October 13, 2017.
