The answer, of course, is those of us who are locked into turnkey systems that build walls around our data and then force us to pay for still more software in order to stick some doors into the walls. Change is in the air though, especially as librarians increasingly take to the Web 2.0 meme and begin to expect more from their systems.

Wow, what I have been missing. From Jessamyn to Blyberg, I love it. There is some real interesting debate going on and it sounds like everyone has an opinion and the vendors are as freaked and frustrated as the end users. I’m not going to rehash all of it but I think it’s going to be a fun year. It’s just a matter of time before the ILS as we know it is replaced by a coal powered difference engine that incorporates sophisticated algorithms and rankings based on user preference, search trends and click throughs.
