An Open Letter to ILS Vendors from Roy Tennant
by vimal kumar 02 Mar '07

02 Mar '07

Dear Friends, Roy Tennant's latest piece on TechEssence.info, Open Letter to ILS Vendors, recommends that in the face of the sustainable open source ILS options and the companies that can provide support for them, that traditional ILS vendors need to rethink their business models and their customer service. While this situation itself and librarians' opposition to it is nothing new, to read Roy Tennant's articulate discussion of the subject lends weight to the issue...and somehow might make it more real to the vendors. Here is the link to the letter, http://techessence.info/node/83 Vimal Kumar Asian School of Business Technopark Trivandrum-695 581 vimal0212(a)yahoo.com www.asb.edu.in ____________________________________________________________________________________ We won't tell.

At present he is Head of the Central Library of Research Centre Jülich. Dr Ball is member of various library bodies and associations. He has widely published in national and international specialist journals and participated in conferences and workshops at home and abroad. The main areas of his practical and theoretical work are library management, scholarly communication, scientometrics and the development of new digital library services.   The future of library services must be considered against the background of a new self-conception of libraries and their definition and of a changing information society. In future, the proactivity of the library and its contribution to the overall enterprise or institution will be defined by a wide range of new business areas and innovative activities. Dr. Balls presentation will assess the current status of scholarly communication in libraries. It will address issues such as opportunities arising in new fields of application, bibliometric service and electronic provision of scholarly information as well as the staff qualifications necessary in these new fields of activity.   The lecture will be followed by the Annual General Meeting of the Association The agenda for the AGM is to appoint an auditor to audit the account of the association for the year 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006.   Hoping to see you all.    Venue: BLISc Class Room SHPT School of Library Science SNDT Womens Univeristy Mumbai 400 020   Date:   28th February 2007     Time: 4 pm onwards   Tel:     22072792/ 22085439 Email: shptsndt(a)gmail.com   Contact Person: Mrs. Sushama Powdwal, Mrs. Sonali Divekar, Mrs. Jyoti Bhabal   Fees:   Members: Free & Non-members: Rs. 50/-       Mrs. Sushama Powdwal Secretary Mrs.Jyoti Bhabal Lecturer SHPT School of Library Science SNDT Women's University 1 Nathibai Thackersey Road New Marine Lines Mumbai 400 020.
