If your library is considering changing your Integrated Library System (ILS) within the next three years, the Indiana State Library and the Hussey Mayfield Memorial Public Library (Zionsville) invites you to join us in investigating the feasibility of adopting an open source ILS for Indiana libraries. We are currently embarking on a statewide initiative, piloted by Hussey Mayfield, to develop an effective open source ILS solution for Indiana libraries that will operate somewhat like the model currently being used by most public libraries in the State of Georgia called LSTA funding to launch and sustain this statewide open source ILS. Indiana Libraries of all types and sizes are encouraged to investigate the benefits of open source ILS’ and apply for grants.
