Make Your Cat(alog) Purr: Optimizing Your ILS

Feedback Survey

The integrated library system (ILS) plays a central role in every library's operations, but is your ILS optimized? Are you taking advantage of all the new features in your ILS? Has institutional knowledge about your system been lost? An ILS audit will ensure your system is properly configured, and it will produce better documentation of and streamline staff workflows. Join us for an overview of what an ILS audit is, how to plan and perform an audit of your own ILS, diagram its data inputs and outputs to better understand the system, and how to document and optimize staff workflows.
