- Description
- About the Authors
This issue of Library Technology Reports (vol. 56, no. 8) offers an in-depth analysis of the vendor and product environment in libraries over the past 30 years. Mergers and acquisitions have accelerated in the past decade, yet the pattern of maintaining products has nevertheless presented libraries with options and a competitive environment. The report draws extensively from data on vendors and product implementations.
