ILS Background Homegrown ILS developed in the late 80s,
launched in 1988
OPAC was launched in 2000 – no substantial
changes made since then
Needed a solution that could be integrated with
existing ILS system

Who’s Talking?
I “heart” the catalog!
- Staff member
Your new catalog search
is needlessly complicated
and hard to use. The old
search was much better.
If it isn’t broke, don’t
fix it. - Customer via webmail

Please let whoever needs to
know that this patron is
totally knocked out by the
new search engine.

“Well it’s pretty obvious that no librarian or researcher was involved in deciding the search criteria for the new library catalog.”
