The Library Corporation Proposal for Springfield Fr Public Library <br />Data Preparation <br />All data analysis, data normalization, and migration is performed by TLC staff at our central <br />headquarters; no work is sub - contracted. Data preparation includes conversion of your transaction <br />(fines, holds, reserves, checkouts) and patron files. This applies to migration of MARC records with <br />a consistent holdings field. Holdings field must include at a minimum a code signifying item location <br />or collection, and a barcode or other unique item ID number. Additional costs may be incurred if the <br />MARC data does not meet the above conditions. <br />NOTE: TLC has successfully imported extracted bibliographic MARC, holdings, patron and <br />transaction data from most other legacy library automation systems into our system. Because of <br />our experience with so many systems, we can offer guidance or refer you to an informed TLC <br />customer for help in extracting your own data. In the rare instance that a library is unable to extract <br />its own data, it may be necessary to have the legacy vendor extract this data. It has been our <br />experience that these vendors will negotiate a fee for this service. <br />There are a few vendors whose transaction data is in proprietary format and cannot be converted <br />by any vendor. <br />TLC Proprietary/Confidential <br />April 1, 2010 Page 8 <br />Attachment number 3 <br />F -12 Page 249 <br />
