OLS (Open Library System) Information
Next Generation Academic Library System Symposium -- March 12, 2008 at TCNJ
Study team charge
In January 2007, after two meetings of a task force
that discussed open-source library systems and the
implementation of the Evergreen system by the Georgia
PINES public library consortium, a study team consisting
of Edward Corrado, TCNJ; Ann Hoang, NJIT; Ann Montanaro,
Rutgers University; and Kurt Wagner, WPUNJ was charged
with taking a look at the PINES implementation, examining
a test installation done at the NJ State Library,
and producing a white paper/feasibility study for
a similar implementation of a shared ILS, bibliographic
and patron database by VALE libraries in New Jersey.
The white paper was accepted by the VALE Executive
Committee at its May 29, 2007 meeting. Subsequently,
the OLS task force has met and split into two sub-groups:
one discussing a proposed business plan for the OLS
and the other discussing the OLS functionality and
technical requirements.
