University of California Systemwide Libraries

Principles approved by the Systemwide Integrated Library System Working Group (SILS WG) on October 18, 2019. Last revised on June 30, 2020. 

The mission of the Systemwide ILS (SILS) project is to transform library services and operations through innovation and collaboration. Harmonization is the process where the UC Libraries come together to align practices, procedures, policies and workflows where appropriate to best take advantage of the operational and service opportunities afforded through a SILS.
