Posted by Richard Wallis at December 10, 2007 09:39 AM
In this week's discussion, the recent publishing of the Library Software Manifesto by OCLC's Roy Tennant is used as a starting point about the state of the relationship between Libraries and Library Software Vendors. Are the current business models sustainable? How has the emergence of Open Source alternatives effected this? Can improvements to the RFP process be found?
