Consortium History
Membership and History

The South Carolina Information and Library Services Consortium (SCILS) is made up of eleven member libraries: Central Carolina Technical College, Greenville Technical College, Horry-Georgetown Technical College, Northeastern Technical College, Orangeburg Technical College, Piedmont Technical College, Spartanburg Community College, Technical College of the Low Country, Tri-County Technical College, Williamsburg Technical College, and York Technical College. A decade ago the original members of SCILS saw the need for collaboration to share expertise, expenses and information resources, and to offer better quality services to students, faculty, and their broader communities. The following has been accomplished during the last decade:

Membership has grown from three to eleven libraries
All libraries have converted their records to electronic format
A method of government has been developed Bylaws have been written and signed by College Presidents
A system operator has been hired and trained
A formal process to add new members has been developed
A website for SCILS was developed
Moved from DRA's Classic system to Sirsi's Unicorn system in January 2004
Server and fiscal operations were moved from Greenville Technical College to Spartanburg Community College in July 2004
Piedmont Technical College is in the process of joining SCILS and migrating to Sirsi
The system operator position has moved to a system librarian position

Currently SCILS serves as a model of cooperation in South Carolina and anticipates serving in this capacity in the future.

SCILS Accomplishments During FY 2005-2006

Ø Upgraded to the newest Sirsi server release (GL 3.0) in June

Ø Trained in June to go to the JAVA Client release in the beginning of next fiscal year
