Library Perceptions 2021: International Survey of Library Automation is Now Available

by Kalleen Marquise on Jan 24, 2022

Marshall Breeding recently released the fifteenth edition of the International Survey of Library Automation: https://librarytechnology.org/perceptions/2021/invite/

This survey, conducted annually since 2007, provides an important 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.

At ByWater Solutions, our main goal is to provide the best service possible for libraries and their patrons. Each year, we humbly ask for your participation and feedback in this essential survey. This survey is instrumental in letting us know how we are doing and does wonders for a small company like ByWater when our satisfied partners share their experiences. Responses from this survey also help the open source community improve visibility, lead enhancements, and promote global acceptance of open source products.

For more information about the survey, instructions on how to participate, and to see results of previous year’s survey reports, please follow this link:
