Really, this has as much of a positive implication for public and special libraries as it does for academics, especially as regards financial and HR management integration (think payroll and acquisitions). Not initially, but wait and watch for the trickle-down. Hmmm. Completely different lineup than advertised. Doing the tweet poll. Thanking OLE and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s Research in Information Technology Program. What is OLE? Carla says, “the project will produce an ILS that is better suited to work with the workflow of libraries” (and will play well with other software and projects. Not just open source, COMMUNITY source. Why OLE? ILS now are too expensive and too inefficient for what libraries need to do now. Libraries need to be able to mod the technologies to adapt quickly. ILS systems don’t work with commercial systems for education and finance. We want mobile, we want connected, we don’t want archaic. The OLE Framework: Flexibility Community Ownership Service Oriented Architecture Enterprise-level Integration Efficiency Sustainability. In poll, FLEXIBILITY ran HIGHEST for what is critical for the ‘future of your library’. Hey. They had workshops. 11 Regional workshops. And webcasts. They have developed a scope document here.
