Remote work has placed a new emphasis on the value of the Library and its legacy tool, the online public access catalog (OPAC). Whether it’s a new Director wondering what they have inherited in an integrated library system (ILS) or a talented information professional stymied by being unable to find resources efficiently, many are finding it is time for an evaluation and optimization of the software supporting their library infrastructure. As the OPAC morphs into a true Research Portal with one stop access to print, electronic and member library resources, it is essential that the data structure in place is configured to support the daily operations of research and knowledge management. Join us for a preliminary look at reasons for reassessing your ILS.
