This committee was "charged with the responsibility to investigate the ILS options for CLAN, including but not limited to switching vendors".

The committee submits without recommendation the following options to the CLAN Steering Committee:

1. Stay with Horizon,
   
2. Migrate back to DYNIX,
   
3. Develop an RFI or an RFP to approach other ILS vendors,
   
4. Investigate the possibility of a merger with HELIN,
   
5. Disband CLAN and each library obtains its own in-house system.

We do not feel that the charge to the Systems Options committee can be given
serious consideration until CLAN's structure is evaluated and any changes
deemed necessary have been implemented.

However, if the Steering Committee chooses to develop an RFP in order to approach other ILS vendors, this committee recommends that a new committee be formed consisting of the following members:

1. CLAN Executive Director
2. CLAN Technical Staff
   
3. Four CLAN library staff members with expertise in the following areas:  Cataloging/Acquisitions, Circulation, Reference,
   and Management
