Good afternoon, I have attached the remaining module reports along with the vendor viability report for you to review before our meeting on February 5. We ask that you do not share these reports or details of the reports outside of this group. Some of this information is considered confidential and also, we are still in the evaluation stage. We are still in a relationship with various vendors, and we need the opportunity to share information with them as appropriate. After the Lead Evaluation Work Group makes a recommendation on March 5, SCLS will be prepared to share information publicly. Thanks, Michelle Michelle Karls ILS Support Technician South Central Library System 1650 Pankratz Street Madison, WI 53704 Phone: (608) 242-4720 Fax: (608) 246-7958 Email: mmkarls(a)scls.info

SirsiDynix virtual site visit with Oshkosh Technical Services staff Thursday, Jan. 30 at 1pm
by Amy Gannaway 27 Jan '25

27 Jan '25

Hello! We will hold a virtual site visit covering SirsiDynix Technical Services on Thursday, January 30 at 1pm. The site visit is expected to last approximately an hour. This will be an informal meeting with staff from Oshkosh Public Library. The meeting with focus more on Acquisitions, although we can touch on Cataloging as well. Oshkosh does not use the Serials module so we will not review Serials. Oshkosh is using SirsiDynix Workflows, which is the staff client for SirsiDynix. For Technical Services Acquisitions, we are looking at SymphonyWeb, which has the same interface as Workflows, except that it is used in a browser, so even though Oshkosh is not using the exact same thing that we are looking at, they are using something that looks the same and essentially works the same. For Cataloging, we are looking at a combination of BlueCloud and SymphonyWeb (meaning that library staff would likely use BlueCloud and the Madison Catalogers would use SymphonyWeb). I have created a registration form so I will have some idea of how many people to expect. Please respond to this survey by Tuesday, January 28, whether or not you are planning to attend. Here is the link to the registration form<https://forms.gle/8a5mcCDp1AucvJSc9>. The form also has a place to enter questions for Oshkosh staff.
