We are aware that OCLC is ceasing development of AMLIB, and that we will need to migrate to a different product in the next few years. We are not keen on the OCLC replacement offering Worldshare, as it seems to be still somewhat "green" i.e not fully developed

As we have had a number of new employees we need more training to have a full understanding and to get the best use from the system

Unfortunately the vendor of the Amlib service died during 2014 and the support was transferred to another vendor. The initial vendor, InforSolve was excellent.

Not a lot is currently happening with the system - knowing that local government amalgamations will come into effect July 2015, Western Australian libraries may be looking to change their system at the same time.

OCLC's 'Amlib' ILS product is on target for releagetion to history and they OCLC have no plans to take it to a version 7.0 - they have informed customers that future development will be limited, then stop. OCLC want Amlib customers to migrate to WorldShare. Many libraries in Western Australia are on Amlib and are looking at alternatives now that Amlib is coming to an end. Our view is that Worldshare will not provide what we want as a public library service. Despite staff interest in open source products like KOHA, our organisation is not keen to opursue an open source option. As a result, we are looking keenly at Spydus.

Despite us being a small library, this product is becoming increasingly unreliable and does not always meet our needs or behave in a consistent manner
