Open ILS Initiative: A NISO Project
Tuesday September 24, 2024 4:30pm - 5:20pm BST
G5
Open Zoom

A key value point when evaluating open source software is open infrastructure that welcomes interoperability with other systems. However, when the desired ecosystem for a library or consortium contains both open and proprietary components, truly compatible choices may become more limited.

Given that the ILS (or LSP) is often the central element in our library suite of tools, NISO has voted in a new program called the Open ILS Initiative, which will bring awareness to critical areas of open infrastructure and flexibility surrounding the ILS. This session will discuss the Open ILS Initiative, including its goals to heighten transparency related to the definition of "open", the use of APIs, current roadblocks, and possible outcomes.
