The integrated library system (ILS) is the backbone of the modern library. It maintains and manages the collection’s inventory and facilitates discovery and lending of materials. With time, even well designed and configured systems can develop pain points that frustrate both the workers and patrons using these programs. Libraries may not be able to consider a new solution like a newer library services platform (LSP), so an ILS needs to be analyzed over time to ensure that it continues to perform in a reliable and efficient manner.Published
