- Description
- D?INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM (ILS). The Library at the National Gallery of Art, a national resource for art research with a growing collection of over 200,000 volumes, 2,400 serials, 180,000 slides, and 2.5 million photographs, seeks to replace its existing library system with a modern, commercial library system. The ILS will manage the Library's core operations in technical services (acquisitions and fund accounting, cataloging and authority control, serials control, and physical processing), reader services (online public catalog, interlibrary loan, and circulation and inventory), and digital resource management. This fully integrated system must support a wide variety of library functions, including some that may be unique to the NGA library, and allow staff and researchers to locate and manage information from internal (art collection management and financial management) and external digital resources, regardless of format, through a single interface. The ILS must be able to import and export needed data in the internal systems without corruption or loss. Three databases (main library catalog, slide library, and photo archives) reside on the existing VTLS Classic which the contractor must migrate to the new ILS. Software must be commercially available and configurable for the Gallery's needs. The contractor must provide the commercial ILS, engineering analysis, system design and security, configuration and customization, data migration, initial training, acceptance testing, in addition to software maintenance and support extending over a period of 12 months with options to extend software maintenance and support for a maximum of 48 months. The goal is to have a fully operational system no later than the fall of 2002. Offerors must demonstrate experience in providing ILS for libraries of the size and complexity stated above that have at least 50 full-time staff and one hundred concurrent users. All responsible sources may submit an offer which will be considered.
