-If you are in the market for library ​systems, what should you be looking for? Needs vary across sectors: corporate, legal, public, school, college, and university – and circumstances differ between individual organisations. Nevertheless,​ there are enduring similarities between libraries and these are reflected in the market ​for library systems. The library management system – LMS (or, in US parlance, the integrated library system – ILS) remains the core system for many libraries. However, the weakness of the conventional LMS in terms of managing electronic resources means it is diminishing in importance.The article looks at the key technology themes influencing library system development.+===== Overviews of the library ​technology ​market ​=====

They represent substantial investmentsand their effectiveness is tested daily in the library. ​But more than efficiency is at stake: These products must be aligned ​with the priorities ​of the library relative ​to collection management, service provision, ​and other functions.

Within these broad industry figures, each experienced a varying range of increases ​or losses in revenue"​.+One key focus of development for ILS products for the last few years has been upgrading web-based interfaces on software applications installed on library personnel computersThe maintenance ​of staff-facing clients has been a longstanding pain for libraries using ILS productsThe transition ​to web interfaces is long overdue and unfortunately consumes much of the development capacity of the vendors ​at the expense ​of creating new functionality ​or services.

-Snippets from the article:+**Public libraries **seek technologies that improve engagement with their communities. These libraries value reliable and feature-rich automation systems, and they are especially drawn to those that help them deliver compelling digital services. Basic library resource management and discovery capabilities no longer differentiate competitors in this market of mature products.

Large libraries of all types have complex requirements and evaluate their systems on much harsher scale than smaller organizations. Conventional integrated library systems dominate public ​librarieswith top scores going to proprietary products in the largest tier and to those based on commercially supported open source software in the mid-size category. Small and very small public libraries also favored proprietary ILS products. In the academic library sector, survey results reveal interesting patterns regarding the newer generation ​of library services ​platformsThese products received strong marks in most categories but are perceived as less capable for managing print resources than legacy ILS products.
