Abstract: The integrated library system (ILS) of the Wirtz Labor Library is a computer application which provides specialized access to the online catalog of the Wirtz Labor Library. The application, Stilas, is a product of the Sirsi Corporation of Huntsville, Alabama. The ILS allows Library staff the ability to track the Library’s holdings, accession materials as they are added to the collection, and perform the cataloging work necessary to keep the online catalog current and accurately representative of the Library’s holdings. Access to the Library’s catalog records is provided by author, title and subject keyword and each record includes descriptive information relative to medium, format, location and other identifying characteristics. The three main components of the ILS are the circulation module, the serials check-in module, and the cataloging module. The circulation module allows materials from the Library’s collection to be circulated to DOL and interlibrary loan users, tracks user profiles, and issues overdue notices. The serials check-in module allows serial publications (journals, magazines, etc.) to be checked upon receipt, subscriptions tracked, and missing issues claimed from publishers. It also allows users who access the online catalog to see what issues of any given publication are held. The cataloging module allows the Library’s cataloging staff to enter, edit, delete, and otherwise modify catalog records of materials held and accessioned by the Wirtz Labor Library, so that the online catalog is an accurate representation of the Library’s holdings.

Purpose: The integrated library system of the Wirtz Labor Library allows the Library’s online catalog to be continuously updated. This will reflect accurately the status of Library materials.

Agency Program: The integrated library system of the Wirtz Labor Library supports all DOL agencies by maintaining the accuracy of access information provided through the Library’s online catalog.
