Hi all,
I've just gotten permission to build an RFP for a new ILS - but it has to be
finished in three weeks (three weeks! If I understand correctly, one would
normally have a couple of *months* to put one together). I've never done an
RFP before.... and I was hoping I could get some tips and/or pitfalls to
watch out for :-)
Just to give you an idea - our current ILS holds 1.7 million records, and is a
union catalogue of about 90 rural public libraries (plus our central
collection of about 120,000 books).
I'm new to the list here.... I've took a quick look through the archives, but
nothing lept out at me :-)
Any thoughts on where I should start?
-David Christensen
