If I may humbly suggest, another path forward is to consider joining the OLE libraries in the work of building up the apps that will operate on the FOLIO platform. You will probably be working to write detailed specifications anyway. The difference is that you'll be working with a cohort of libraries to describe exactly what you need in a user-experience-first process (https://wiki.folio.org/display/PLATFORM/The+FOLIO+User+Interface+Prototype) rather than trying to match existing systems to desired functionality. The risk is, of course, that the project may move at a speed that doesn't match your needs.
A great way to hear more about the state of the project is to join the FOLIO Forum on Wednesday for an update on the roadmap and a demonstration of the project so far: https://www.openlibraryenvironment.org/archives/338 Best, Peter On Mar 9, 2017, 10:46 AM -0600, David Uspal <[email protected]>, wrote: > Code4Lib, > > > With the conference going today, I figured it would be a good time to get > this request in -- for libraries who have recently developed an RFP for their > ILS, would you be willing to share that RFP with me?
