Self-Service
Intuitive Web 2.0 Ease of use – no training!
Current ILSs
Proprietary Ease of use Technological support Vendor endorsement Widely known Bundled with other
programs
Open-Source ”Free” as in ”free”
beer and ”free” speech
Growing vendor support and recognition
Modifiable to the needs of the library
Pros
Current ILSs
Proprietary Vendor may choose
to discontinue Modifiable only to a
certain point Costly Vendors may choose
to dictate uses and licenses
Excludes other ILSs
Open-Source Lack of technical
support or know-how for most libraries
Not as widely known Not necessarily able
to work with other platorms
Cons
ILS Emerging Trends
Recent ILS Development
WorldCat's new ILS WorldCat Local Eliminates many steps Convenient Monopoly?
What kind of control will OCLC gain with this new development?
On the other hand...
A push for Open-Source still exists Eliminates the middle-man and gives library
control Will systems like Koha develop quickly enough
to provide a healthy balance of open vs. closed systems?
Is there a future for the ILS?
As budgets decrease over time, what will be the best long-term investment?
Will a ”web-scale” (Breeding, 2009) program like WorldCat Local replace our current idea of an ILS?
Will Open-Source programs attempt to meet this growing demand to be more Google-like?
Why does library need ERMs?
multiple manifestations of the same resource, maintenance of volatile URLs, tracking and maintaining electronic holdings, and making resources accessible from within
the library as well as remotely.
Issues: For the ERM system
Consortium support and functionality Usage Data Resource Succession Data standards
Issues: For library world
user behavior and expectations 3% information seekers start with library
86% start with Google or other search engines Find information anyplace anytime when he/she want
Disintegration of ILS Pricing Intellectual property perpetual access and archiving
Let’s think about ERMs!
Can integrated library management systems “sufficiently meet the complex management needs of the online resources environment?”
(From:Beth Forrest Warner)
Is user-friendliness best achieved by a simple, Google-like interface that patrons say they want? Or is it user-centered to educate users-teaching them the best way to get the best results, even though they do not like having to learn something complicated?
(From:Tim Bucknall)
