Purpose
The V-Cat ILS Evaluation and Review Committee is charged with reviewing available Integrated Library Systems / Library Service Platforms and their viability for the V-Cat Consortium. Ultimately the committee will be expected to present a recommendation to V-Cat to either re-negotiate the current contract with Innovative or negotiate a new service contract with another vendor.
This committee meets monthly, with possible small group working meetings between.
