RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt resolution approving the annual shared automation fee
structure for the agreement between the City of Stockton and Sirsi,
Corp., lntegrated Library System, and approving cost sharing fee for
fiscal year 2019120 of $26,766.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: ln 2003 as authorized by the City Council, the Lodi Public Library
entered into a partnership with Stockton San Joaquin County Library
System to share an lntegrated Library System (lLS) provided by
Sirsi Corporation. The Sirsi ILS integrates all the functions of the library in one automated system. lt allows
users online access to the catalog to search for library material and access their accounts via the lnternet
to place holds and to receive email notification of holds, overdues, and due date reminders. The integrated
library system maintains allthe records of items in the collection and registered borrowers and their status
in relation to each other. The contract requires the parties to annually agree on a fee structure for the Sirsi
services to the Lodi Library.
City of Stockton lnformation Technology Department staff provides computer technology services and
Stockton Library staff members consult on implementation of the system and software as needed. Lodi's
system maintenance costs charged by Sirsi Corporation are directly passed through from Stockton. Lodi
shares a percentage of connectivity charges based on the percentage of peripheral equipment connected
to the system. Charges for City of Stockton staffing expertise and consultation are charged annually for
estimated services rendered. This year, Stockton proposes that Lodi pay $26,766 under the contract. This
represents a slight increase over the previous year.
FISCAL IMPACT:Online access to Library resources reduces the need to hire
employees to serve public inquiries.
