70 -- INTEGRATED LIBRARY SYSTEM SOFTWARE SOL IN95-12 POC Ruth R. Nelson, Contracting Officer, 202-707-8610. The Library of Congress intends to negotiate with IME Systems, Inc. for the UNIX-based version of TINLIB, an integrated library system for the Parliamentary Library of the Slovak Parliament. The TINLIB System includes the following software: Catalog/OPAC, Serials Mgt. Acquisitions, Circulation Control, Report Generator, Communications, Record Import/Export, and CDS/ISIS profile. TINLIB supports the Slovak character set and provides sorting/searching in the Slovak language and will facilitate data exchange between the Slovak Parliamentary Library and the Czech Parliamentary Library who already use TINLIB. TINLIB includes conversion programs that will allow data from the CDS-ISIS format currently in use in the Parliamentary Library to be converted easily to a format usable by TINLIB so that cataloging that has been completed will still be useful. The UNIX-based version of TINLIB will allow the Parliamentary Library to make available some of its resources over the INTERNET, which is also UNIX-based. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT IS AVAILABLE. No Contract award will be made on the basis of an offer/proposal received in response to this notice. Interested parties that can provide an integrated library system, including all the listed software, UNIX-based version, training, installation/implementation and annual maintenance may contact the Contracting Officer no later than 15 calendar days from the date of this announcement. The response must be sufficient to permit agency analysis to establish a bonafide capability to meet the requirements. It is requested that pricing information, terms and conditions be included as part of any response. (0072)
