ILS

Lorcan

I did a search on ILS in Google earlier.
The top result was for a website called ILSMart.com where the ILS stands for Inventory Locator Service. It is a supply chain company for the aviation and allied businesses.
Inventory Locator Service is not a bad name for what we call the ILS?
The first library-related entry was the fourth, which was the Wikipedia entry for ILS (Integrated Library System).

Library leaders should be drawn from across the organization. Any idea that technology leaders are overly specialised or too distant from general library work is outmoded and counter-productive.
