Invitation to participate in the annual Library Automation Perceptions survey

[Marshall Breeding]

I'm collecting data for this year's International Library Automation
Perceptions survey.  

 

This survey, now in its sixth annual iteration, provides an opportunity for
libraries to register their perceptions of the strategic automation products
they use, organizations that provide these products, and the quality of
support delivered. The survey also probes at considerations for migrating to
new systems and the level of interest in open source products. 

 

While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the
study, it's the comments offered that provide the most insight into the
current state of library automation satisfaction.  Comments will be
published in the survey results, redacted of text that might identify the
individual or organization responding. 

 

Please help your fellow libraries who might be in the process of evaluating
library automation options by responding to the survey. Any information
regarding vendor performance and product quality can be helpful when making
strategic decisions regarding automation alternatives. A large number of
responses strengthen the impact of the survey and the subsequent report.

 

If you have responded in previous years, please respond again this year to
help identify any trends regarding improvement or worsening of the products
or support services.  

 

For more information about the survey, for instructions on how to
participate, and to see results of previous year's surveys, see:

I hope that all will respond.  Please let me know if there are any questions
regarding the survey.


Best regards,
