(LCI) strives to provide a valuable and affordable service to all its members and technology is an important tool to help further this goal. LCI has recently transitioned to a fully remote workplace and this change impacts the types of technology necessary to connect staff and to continue to serve member libraries. This Technology Plan, along with LCI’s mission, vision, and values, will help guide the organization’s acquisition and implementation of technology resources over the next three years. Additionally, this plan will further enable LCI to support member libraries’ innovation goals including their work to support digital equity, accessibility, and future needs as they arise.  \nMission: Adding value through collaboration  \nPurpose: To increase members’ efficiencies and savings  \nVision: Libraries will be sustainable and relevant through the changing twenty-first century landscape  \nValues: Collaboration, Efficiencies and Savings, Responsiveness, Transparency  \nTechnology Assessment  \nLCI will regularly evaluate, monitor, and actively plan for staff hardware and software needs to ensure seamless operations and the ability to provide exemplary support services to member libraries. A list of current hardware assets, as well as a list of current software resources being used by LCI are available to members of the Board of Directors upon request.  \nLCI will regularly confer with the Technology Committee and the Board of Directors to understand member libraries’ technology needs and determine appropriate avenues of support that can be provided by LCI. Current member libraries’ technology needs, as reported in the Technology Survey conducted in 2023, include the following:  \n● A modern, consortia-ready, user-friendly ILS  \n● An intuitive public catalog/discovery layer that works well on both mobile and desktop  \n● Seamless integration with a variety of third-party products (e.g. self-check, e-content collections, mobile apps, MuseumKey, public PC/print cost recovery software)  \n● Stable, predictable costs for technology  \n● Training, documentation, and support for the ILS and catalog Board Approved 10/13/2023  \nTechnology Goals  \nOrganizational Operations  \n● Hardware  \n○ Update staff members’ primary computers every three years.  \n○ Ensure that each staff member has a laptop for in-person meetings, trainings, and visits to member libraries.  \n○ Migrate staff to laptop computers with docking stations whenever possible to eliminate the need for multiple computers per person. Currently three of the six staff members have laptops for primary computers including the new position.  \n○ Provide LCI staff with hardware necessary to run the business remotely and support member libraries’ needs.  \n● Software  \n○ Evaluate the pros and cons of migrating staff email to Office 365 from Gmail in order to partition LCI staff software from software used to support members.  \n○ The Technology Committee will facilitate discussions with the Board of Directors to determine whether to migrate LCI to a .org domain.  \n○ Provide LCI staff with the software necessary to run the business remotely and support member libraries’ needs.  \n● LCI Staff Continuing Education  \n○ Ensure staff have access to continuing education opportunities ([i.e. online](i.e. online)[ ](i.e. online)[training sites](training sites), in-person workshops, etc. ) to remain abreast of changes in technology relevant to the operations of the organization as well as changes that impact member libraries.  \n● Cybersecurity  \n○ Maintain anti-virus software on all staff devices.  \n○ Provide password managers for all staff.  \n○ Use Office 365, with backup capabilities, for all staff data storage.  \n○ Use a VPN for all staff connections.  \n○ Maintain sufficient cyber insurance coverage.  \nMember Support  \nIntegrated Library System  \n● A task force will p","cbCaiopCTYERvnxe","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiopCTYERvnxe","pdf",342620,"English","# Technology Plan Overview\n# Technology Assessment\n# Technology Goals\n## Organizational Operations\n## Member Support\n## Shared e-content\n## Communication and Knowledge Sharing","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of LCI’s 2023-2025 Technology Plan?\",\"answer\":\"The plan’s purpose is to increase members’ efficiencies and savings through strategic acquisition and implementation of technology over three years.\"},{\"question\":\"How will LCI assess and plan for technology needs?\",\"answer\":\"LCI will regularly evaluate and monitor staff hardware and software needs, and will coordinate with the Technology Committee and the Board of Directors using technology survey inputs and ongoing consultation.\"},{\"question\":\"What technology initiatives are planned to support member libraries’ services?\",\"answer\":\"Key initiatives include preparing an RFP for a new ILS and public catalog, supporting existing Sierra/Encore contracts, improving mobile access to the catalog, documenting reporting tools, and enabling API/SIP2 connections between the ILS and third-party products.\"}]","2023-2025 Technology Plan - Technology Resources Acquisition and Implementation | PDF",1789332996]
