March 2011. CLIC created the ILS Task Force to evaluate ILS options, including the option of staying with III. Charge to the task force read,
“The charge to the ILS Task Force is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of integrated library systems CLIC might select at a future date, including III’s new Sierra Services Platform. The task force should take cost into account and is asked to complete its work before the February 2012 CLIC Board Meeting.
