A national circulation system – benefit

+ Cost-effective solution for licenses, maintenance and development

+ Improved service for end-users

+ Improved workflow for cataloguers

+ Next generation system

www.kb.se

Approx. 20 Million SEK / year

KB don’t have the money to purchase/develop and implement the software

The libraries don’t have the money until the costs for the local systems are gone

Who will pay during the meantime?

Since then…• Specification of functionality, including

architecture • Request for information, RFI• All systems had the requested circulation

functionality (or was ”good enough”)• None of the systems had the requested

SOA architecture (or was ”modular enough”)

www.kb.se

Conclusion

• The answers to the RFI give us no reason to believe that there, for the time being, is an appropriate system available on the market

• Possible solutions:– In-house development combined with use of

opensource software– Cooperation within the Nordic countries

www.kb.se

And now

• Final report in a couple of weeks

• Reactions from the libraries

• The National Librarian decides whether or not to proceed with the question

• If we are to proceed, the next step should be a more concrete technical project

• Financial question still isn’t solved
