We are looking at this issue because several librarians have reported major headaches working with their local or regional contracting offices when the time came to renew ILS vendor maintenance contracts. These problems include those associated with a high turnover in contracting officers, having to write comprehensive statements of work, librarians being required to re-justify continually what is essentially a sole-source procurement and/or being required to do it on an annual basis. Therefore, the Information Technology Working Group is interested in gathering information on Integrated Library System (ILS) maintenance contracts currently being offered to members by various ILS vendors. This information will help the Working Group decide whether to ask Fedlink to investigate the possibility of providing "transfer pay" ILS maintenance contracts to members, beginning in FY99 or FY00, similar to the book and serials contracts currently in place. To help us, we would appreciate your answers to the following questions. Please respond directly to me: [log in to unmask], not to the list. 1. Would you like Fedlink to offer transfer pay ILS contract maintenance services? Yes____ No ____ 2. If Fedlink were to offer such services, what services should vendors provide? Ongoing software maintenance ____ Software upgrades ____ Hardware maintenance ____ Software training ____ Consulting services ____ Other ______________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ 3. If ILS contract maintenance services were available from Fedlink through transfer pay, would you contract for such services through Fedlink? Yes ____ No ____ 4. If Yes, at what projected dollar level? $_______________ 5. If No, why not? 6. What ILS do you use? ___________________ 7.
