[LM_NET] TAR: district library automation RFP sample?

[timosh <timosh@MCHSI.COM>]

Greetings:

 

Does anyone out there have a district library automation RFP (Request for Proposal) 
they would be willing to share, and I could modify for my specifics?   We don't 
want to re-invent the wheel, and you might have some great points my exploration 
committee might not see.  

 

I have been just been asked to chair a committee exploring the implementation of a 
district-wide automation system such as Follett's Destiny.  (We have 13 buildings, 
including one district resource center.  Only 7 are currently automated with 
stand-alone systems.)

 

After a through search of the "Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts" 
database I've selected a few articles on writing a RFP for the committee members. 
(Some nice A - B- C, this is how you do it articles.)  However, an actual sample or 
two would jump-start the project.

 

If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
