Keeping tabs on the world of library automation technology can be a
difficult and confusing task, so it helps to have someone like Marshall
Breeding to do it for us. For nearly 2 decades he has been methodically
tracking both integrated library system (ILS) companies and individual ILS
products. This month he published the results of a new survey, the first
where he asked librarians how satisfied they are with their current ILS
products, vendors, and support services and how likely they are to explore
open source products. The data he culled from nearly 1,800 respondents in 47
countries paints an interesting picture.
