FLC manages and operates an automated, integrated library system, "ILS," on behalf of <br />member libraries. <br />B. Louisville Public Library wishes to participate in the FLC ILS for shared use of its library <br />circulation database, bibliographic holdings databases, public catalog access activities and <br />other related products and services. <br />C. An agreement for use of the FLC ILS will advance regional library cooperation and provide <br />mutual benefit for member libraries through sharing of the ILS and other resources. <br />D. Acceptance of this agreement constitutes membership in FLC. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, and covenants herein stated, the <br />Parties agree as follows: <br />1. System Use. Louisville Public Library shall be allowed to use the FLC ILS system to build and <br />maintain a database for library circulation and public access activities in accordance with the <br />terms of this Agreement. <br />2. Terms of System Use. The use of FLC's ILS system, provided for herein, shall be for a term <br />beginning on January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2018. <br />3. FLC Database Maintenance. Louisville Public Library shall maintain and update its database by <br />entering its data into the FLC system. <br />4. Equipment Obligations. In order to use the FLC ILS system and other services, the Louisville <br />Public Library shall purchase or lease, at its own expense, all communications and peripheral <br />equipment necessary to attach itself to and operate the system. Member library required <br />equipment includes telecommunication equipment needed to connect to the Internet, staff <br />terminals to access the shared on -line catalog for data entry and editing, circulation terminals to <br />process library material check -outs and returns for patrons, and on -line public access computers <br />(OPACs) for patron access to the shared catalog. The number of terminals in use for the ILS at <br />member libraries is one of the factors in system cost allocations, see ATTACHMENT A. Should <br />the Louisville Public Library desire to add more terminals or other equipment than are currently <br />in place on their premises at the time of this Agreement, charges and terms for the installation <br />and use of such additional equipment shall be negotiated between the Parties. If agreement <br />cannot be reached concerning costs, FLC shall be under no obligation to attach any additional <br />equipment to the ILS system. All such equipment must be approved by FLC prior to installation <br />for the purpose of guaranteeing compatibility with the FLC ILS system. FLC will provide <br />assistance in locating compatible equipment, if so requested. The Louisville Public Library shall <br />be responsible for all communications costs between its facilities and FLC. <br />16 <br />
