I'm still kicking myself that I didn't include the questions about library type and library system from the start, as it would have been great to know which system each respondent was using.

To be honest, I guess I really didn't expect to get more than about 30 responses, so I didn't envisage there being enough raw data to make meaningful conclusions abouts systems and library types.

To declare an interest, we use several Ex Libris products, and I'm suprised that they get such a bad rating here - although they are far from perfect, if you compare the Aleph OPAC to the Millenium OPAC I think they are pretty comparable products.

Based on my own subjective point of view, I wonder if Ex Libris users might be more demanding, and rate the importance of yet to be delivered features differently to those of other vendors.

Also, in terms of meeting the needs of users, there is no doubt that I would expect many of the future gazing features to be more important in the Academic library world than in the Public library world - so again, it would be interesting to see this broken down in slightly different ways - are the Public library implementations of each system happier or less happy than the academic library ones etc.

Of course, all this is only because the results challenge my subjective beliefs - but I'd be interested in seeing more data to try to work out if I'm just way off here, or if there are more layers to this hidden in the detail.
