Abstract: This issue of Information Standards Quarterly on the Future of Library Systems spotlights the topic of the new generation of products that I call Library Services Platforms. The earlier term integrated library systems (ILS ) is associated with the functionality and concepts associated with managing print collections and the metadata about them. These new products and projects cast a wider net, consistent with the expansion of library collections to include a complex assemblage of electronic and digital materials in addition to their physical inventories.
