To:


Greetings!

This is a second call for participation in an interview about Open Source
Integrated Library Systems (ILS). This interview is part of a research
project funded by IMLS comparing the technical support of Open Source ILS
with the technical support of proprietary ILS.

This is the third phase of the project. In the first phase we collected data
regarding expectations of librarians for the technical support of their ILS.
The second phase assessed the effectiveness of current ILS technical
support.

Thanks for your help if you participated in one or both of the earlier
phases. We really appreciate the informative, quick and large number of
responses we got!!! If you've already signed up for an interview we
appreciate it.

We hope you will participate in the current interviews, which will use the
experience of open source software ILS adopters to develop a model for the
evaluation, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of open source ILS. We
would like to conduct the interview over the phone or in person and will be
compensating for your time with a $25 gift card.

If you know of anyone who would be interested in the study or in being
interviewed please direct them to our site at
http://www.oss-research.com/ where
they can find out more about the project. We are interested in learning
about the experiences of libraries of different types and sizes and are
interested in hearing from you even if your migration to an open source ILS
is not complete.

If you are willing to participate, please respond to this email with the
subject phrase "ILS Interview"
In the same email if you could mention
·         The type of library (public, academic, school, special, etc.) you
represent and
·         The approximate size of your collection.

We really appreciate your time and support and look forward to reporting
back the results from this study!

You can also direct any queries or suggestions to
utk.ils.research at gmail.com with
the subject “ILS Interview” in the subject line, or visit our Facebook page
