70 -- INTEGRATED LIBRARY SOFTWARE PACKAGE POC Jim Graalman,301621-0173. The NASA Center for AeroSpace Information is interested in sources capable of supplying a commercially available integrated library software package. The package will support a 13 library nation-wide consortium consisting of approximately 300,000 titles and 400,000 volumes. The software offered must include the following modules: on-line public access catalog (OPAC), cataloging and authority control, acquisitions, serials control, circulation, and an extensive management information reporting capability. The system must store data in MARC format and be able to import and export data in USMARC. Software must be true client-server architecture with record processing split between client and server. The system must be able to be easily re- configured to change the number and location of servers while being transparent to users/clients. The server software must use a standard relational database management system that will operate on a RS/6000 computer running under AIX. Client software must work with MS-Windows 3.1 and Macintosh System 7, true multi- task processing is preferred. A Graphical User Interface and character-based search functionality must be available for OPAC access. In addition the client software must operate in a broad range of network environments including LAN's and WANs, network systems will include but not be limited to Novell Netware, Microsoft LAN Manager, and IBM LAN Server, all using TCP/IP protocol. The software will take advantage of Structured Query Language (SQL) and must be written to be compliant with OSI and appropriate NISO standards including but not limited to Z39.50. The vendor must have a proven record of migrating existing bibliographic, item, patron, vendor, and circulation data from a MVS/CICS-based NOTIS Library Management System and be able to begin migration 90 days after signing a contract. Interfaces between the new system and the existing NOTIS LMS must be maintained until all libraries are implemented on the new system. This notice is a sources sought and not a request for competitive proposals. Interested sources must submit capabilities and qualifications by April 14, 1995.
