“…However, it's the big companies, OCLC, Ex Libris, and Innovative Information Inc., that dominate the market and set the major trends. Wilson (2012) provides a detailed profile of the five next-generation library service platforms: Ex Libris' Alma, OCLC's WMS, Innovative's Sierra, Kuali's OLE, and Proquest's Intota. The article is written in interview style, with each vendor being asked the salient questions about functionality, performance, and development (Wilson, 2012).…”

The article is written in interview style, with each vendor being asked the salient questions about functionality, performance, and development (Wilson, 2012). In an earlier article, Collins compares two of the pioneers developing the new products, OCLC and Kuali, where one can already detect the roadmap for the new directions (Collins, 2010).…”

Cloud-computing is causing a major shift in the way organizations manage their data. For libraries this shift entails the switch from stand-alone ILSs to cloud-based systems. The new generation of ILSs embraces this model. The University of New Mexico Libraries undertook the migration to OCLC's cloud-based ILS, WorldShare Management Services (WMS). The process required choosing the vendor, preparing the data for migration, and implementing workflows. Through this article the authors will look at each of these stages of the migration and describe the process along the way. They will conclude with a look at the major paradigm shift caused by moving to a cloud-based environment.There is a new game in town called library services platform. This term describes the latest generation of integrated library systems (ILSs) which are cloud-based and take advantage of powerful web-scale computing capabilities (Breeding, 2012). The move to cloud-computing is causing a major shift in the way organizations store and manage data. For libraries, this shift entails the switch from stand-alone, locally hosted ILSs to cloud-based servers. All newly designed library management systems embrace this model, and the established vendors are slowing development and support of their legacy stand-alone 274 q Sever Bordeianu and Laura Kohl

“…A recent column by Kristen Wilson published in Serials Review highlighted several of these evolving systems and their evolving functionality. 1 What do these systems have in common? They are attempting to integrate electronic resource management as a central component to the system, and one way they are accomplishing this is by tightly integrating a knowledgebase within the system.…”

Over a decade ago, knowledgebases entered the library marketplace as stand-alone products to facilitate electronic resource management and end-user access. Keeping pace with the increasing availability of electronic content, these systems have grown exponentially and have become integral components of electronic resource management and discovery product suites. This review article traces the evolution of knowledgebase systems and highlights recent initiatives to standardize and improve e-resource metadata. Looking to the future of electronic resource management, knowledgebase-centric systems not only have the potential to improve the automation of e-resource management tasks, they also can foster increased collaboration among libraries, thereby transforming how libraries work and provide services to end users.
