 100% of survey complete.
Please select the functionality or modules you think your library might be interested in using when/if you migrate to Polaris as part of the merged LLSAP for the southern half of Illinois. While your choices here do not obligate you to use the products in the future, the information will be helpful to us as we work through negotiations and fee formulas. If your library has more than one branch (or school), please complete one survey for each. This survey should take no more than ten minutes to complete.
