1. define the need 2. survey best practices and related local and national initiatives 3. define functional specifications for the system 4. build a data model which maximizes opportunities for present and future interoperability with existing systems (e.g., ILS, MyLibrary, Serials Solutions, PeopleSoft) and utilization of existing or emerging standards (e.g., OpenURL, EDI, XML) 5. implement a prototype.
