ILS Evaluation Reports Workgroup draft and meeting poll
by Cindy Weber 10 Jan '25

10 Jan '25

Hello, At our last meeting we talked about your impressions of the two vendors reviewed and Amy mentioned that the next step is create a preliminary recommendation report. We have created a draft of a recommendation report based on the meeting, the vendor demo checklist notes, and any vendor follow-up. The demo checklists notes and demo follow-up are linked here: https://www.scls.info/ils-evaluation-2024-2025#REPORTS. Also, I have attached the notes from our last meeting. To move forward with compiling the recommendation report, there are a couple of tasks that you need to do. Poll for January meeting I have created a poll to find a date for a January workgroup<https://rallly.co/invite/6SAWkZKY9H4D> meeting. Please complete this poll by Thursday, January 16, so the meeting can be scheduled. Preliminary report Here is the draft of the Reports Workgroup Recommendation report<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1191GBAd8ghXPS_9C4jvANw__4s_QWz963VUE0az…>. Each vendor has a pros and cons section. I have filled in a number of pros and cons based on the demos and discussions. Please review this draft and add your own pros and cons. I don't have a deadline for this right now but everyone should have reviewed this by our meeting, so the deadline is by the meeting (yet to be scheduled). At our meeting we can review this and make the final recommendation to the Lead Workgroup. If you have any questions about this please let me know. I think the document is properly set to allow you all to edit but let me know asap so I can fix it. Thanks!

Follow up questions for Reports
by Cindy Weber 31 Jul '24

31 Jul '24

Hi, Looking through the forms from the Reports demos, no questions were specifically noted in the comments and there were very few things the libraries indicated they either didn’t see or didn’t know if they saw. There were a couple of questions added by SCLS staff from the Polaris demos: * What is the maximum number of records that can be returned in a report? Notes say it was 99,999 but we wanted to confirm that. * You said that there was no data drift. Is that for all fields or just certain fields? There is also a list that SCLS staff put together to ask for the administrative/setup side. These are posted on a Google document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fpWXdbI0a-wSg9dflptgA1MWibrOOBqpRcqztAu…<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fpWXdbI0a-wSg9dflptgA1MWibrOOBqpRcqztAu…> If there are any questions you've thought of since the demos or, if you look at the admin side questions and that sparks additional questions, please let us know by August 7th.

by Cindy Weber 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Hi, Below is a link to a poll to find the best day to meet virtually to review the "requests for demonstration" on the ILS Evaluation Report Checklists. The lists are almost identical to the 2017-2018 ILS Evaluation checklists. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e5AZ1GZe Please respond by March 8, 2024. I'll review the responses and select the day and time that most people can attend and then I will send out the list for review and discussion. If you have additional functionality that you want demonstrated during the in-person demonstrations, please bring them to the meeting. Thanks, Cindy Cindy Weber cweber(a)scls.info ILS Support Technician (608)245-5799 South Central Library System
