摘要

Daniel Walters, executive director of the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District, NV, recently took automation vendors to task, saying that they have "fundamentally missed the business we're in" (InfoTech, LJ 4/15/04, p. 24). He asserts that vendors market products that librarians simply must make do with rather than provide the exact tools that they need. Serious accusations. LJ polled several top vendors for their response, and while they insist that they receive constant input from the field, not all disagreed with Walters's statement. "[What we produce] are in fact the products that the majority of libraries tell us they want and are willing to pay for," said VTLS president Carl Grant. "That said, the reality is that vendors frequently do try to provide a 'push' in technology, only to encounter resistance." Grant adds that Walters is right in that "many of the products available today are neither flexible enough nor visionary enough to provide a comprehensive environment for bringing information into a library's portal."
