Incoming and Outgoing Shipments in 1 STEP Using Odoo 17
Acquisition the great migration
1.
2. Migration and major equipment
upgrades from one library management
system to another are massive projects
that require extensive planning, careful
scheduling, and local technical expertise
3. First Generation Systems
Libraries primarily purchased turnkey systems in
which 1 vendor supplied hardware, software,
maintenance, and development.
Second Generation Systems
can control all aspects of library operations, greater speed,
functionality, acquisition records may finally be integrated
into the OPAC database, and if the system networked,
acquisition data may be accessible to a wide user group.
4. SELECTING A SYSTEM
Positive Motivators:
Search for faster machines
Quicker response time
Ability to put modules together into an integrated system
New features like graphic user interface(GUI) and
centrally-mounted databases
Desire to add more terminals or simultaneous users
Faster maintenance at decreased cost
An open operating system
Ability to network with a campus or consortium
LAN(local-area network)
5. Negative Motivators:
The desire to move away from hardware controlled by the
software vendor
Rising maintenance costs on older equipment
Difficulty in repairing old hardware
Dependence on an outdated or proprietary operating
system
Lack of features
Inadequate size or speed
Inability to run new software or interface with other
systems
Inadequate telephone or service support from vendor
6. Factors in Selecting a System
Vendor
Software
Service
Support
Training and documentation
Research and development
Cost
7. Operating System
It controls how data and instructions
are brought into main memory and
how request coming into the
CPU(central processing unit) are
scheduled for processing.
8. Types of Operating System
Proprietary OS
-are tied to a particular manufacturer’s line of
computers.
Open Source OS
-are compatible with a number of computers
platforms.
10. IMPLEMENTING A SYSTEM
Site Preparation
New System administration and security
Data Preparation
Scheduling and downtime
Procedural Changes
Education and Training
Vendor Relation

12. DEVELOPING A LOCAL
ACQUISITION SYSTEM
The process of acquiring library materials is
detailed and complex. This activity, central
to many library operations and services, is
composed of a mix of standard business
practices and specialized library
requirements.
13. Acquisitions
the process of securing materials for the
library collection, whether by purchase, as
gifts, or through exchange programs (Evans,
2000)
Primarily concerned with the ordering,
claiming and receipt of materials for the
library (Gorman, 1998)
14. JOINT APPLICATION DESIGN (JAD)
is a technique developed by IBM to
accelerate the system design process.
also called Joint Application
Development
16. JAD Process Steps
Define JAD Session Objectives
Prepare for the session
Conduct the JAD Session
Draft the Documents
17. Benefits of JAD
To accelerate systems development
To increase system quality
To increase customer satisfaction
To promote developer/customer partnership
To deliver the right system in time for it to be use
18. JAD Process at Indiana University
Library
1. The IBM Facilitator held an introductory meeting with
key administrators.
2. The JAD Leader conducted one-on-one interviews with
representative users from acquisitions, collection
development, administration, management and
automation.
3. Customization session provide participants an
opportunity to become familiar with the rules of group
dynamics, to be coached in the design process and to
learn to accept the collaborative nature of this venture.
4. The JAD Design team fleshed out, changed, and added
detail to each of the process blocks identified during the
customization sessions.
