Dear Tim,
Our library has our system (Dynix) housed in and controlled by our IT
department. We do not have any kind of a formal arrangement about this but
would far prefer to have our system in the LIbrary. We are currently
looking into ASP models for our next system as we would prefer to deal
directly with a vendor than continue with our current situation.Also it
would probably be a cost benefit to us.
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would share other responses with me.
Thanks so much,
Joan
