2. www.kb.se A national circulation system – benefit + Cost-effective solution for licenses, maintenance and development + Improved service for end-users + Improved workflow for cataloguers + Next generation system

3. www.kb.se Approx. 20 Million SEK / year KB don’t have the money to purchase/develop and implement the software The libraries don’t have the money until the costs for the local systems are gone Who will pay during the meantime? A national circulation system – costs

8. www.kb.se Service oriented architecture

9. www.kb.se 2007-05-15 Since then… Specification of functionality, including architecture Request for information, RFI All systems had the requested circulation functionality (or was ”good enough”) None of the systems had the requested SOA architecture (or was ”modular enough”)

10. www.kb.se Conclusion The answers to the RFI give us no reason to believe that there, for the time being, is an appropriate system available on the market Possible solutions: –In-house development combined with use of opensource software –Cooperation within the Nordic countries

11. www.kb.se And now Final report in a couple of weeks Reactions from the libraries The National Librarian decides whether or not to proceed with the question If we are to proceed, the next step should be a more concrete technical project Financial question still isn’t solved
