WHEREAS, the Grand Island Public Library has contracted with SirsiDynix (formerly
Dynix) since 1993 on a variety of automation system needs, including installation of hardware and
software to operate the automated circulation of items; and
WHEREAS, timely automation system enhancements to the library's Se11C'heck
capabilities are necessary to continue improving library efficiency through effective use of
technology; and
WHEREAS, through field hardware/software upgrades of these machines, even greater
efficiency can be gained by allowing self-payment of fines and fees, which frees up employees'
time to assist patrons in other ways.
WHEREAS, purchasing of these automation system enhancements through SirsiDynix is
recommended to assure consistent maintenance with SirsiDynix equipment that is directly linked
to the SirsiDynix database server, and provides consistent analysis of potential future
transportability of these and previously-installed components to an open source integrated library
system being analyzed through the library's Council-approved affiliation with the Pioneer Library
Consortium.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that the purchase of SelfCheck Machine Self
Pay Components at the Grand Island Public Library from SirsiDynix (formerly Dynix) in the
amount of $26,508.00 is hereby approved; and the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed to
execute such Purchase Agreement on behalf of the City of Grand Island.
