Marshall Breeding is collecting data for the 2021 International Library
Automation Perceptions survey conducted through Library Technology Guides.



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.



While the numeric rating scales support the statistical results of the
study, the narrative comments provide even more interesting insight into
the current state of library automation satisfaction.  Comments will be
published in the survey results, though redacted to conceal any 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.
This survey also provides constructive criticism to the vendors involved to
help them address any prevailing issues or concerns.



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 survey reports, see:
