An Institutional Perspective on the Shared Next-gen ILSs and Library Consortia: Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges
Session Abstract
Next-generation Integrated Library Systems (ILSs) have been maturing and are adopted by more and more academic libraries. Many academic libraries have joined a consortium to collaboratively move towards a shared next-generation ILS that sustains a deeper collaboration. Has this been a trend for academic libraries to share the new system in consortia? What are the opportunities, challenges, and benefits a shared ILS would bring to small- or medium-sized libraries within a consortium? This presentation will examine the adoption of the leading next-generation ILS products to reveal the trends, and offer an individual institutional perspective on the opportunities, challenges, and benefits that the shared ILS has brought.
