SCONUL Publishes Its Library Technology Landscape Report

From SCONUL (Society of College, National and University Libraries):

SCONUL has launched the results of its first Library Technology Survey. This provides a comprehensive analysis of the technology landscape for academic and research libraries covering 26 library technology functional spaces. It provides detailed profiles of the products and services used in those spaces, as well as assessments of their functionality and value for money.

It should act as a valuable reference guide for libraries allowing you to undertake scoping work for a new system with a full understanding of the market. This is one of the primary uses of the data and we are keen to hear feedback from SCONUL members on ways in which the survey can be refined and improved for its next iteration. This will run in Autumn 2026.

You can read the full report here. This includes the findings, supplementary tables and the original questionnaire.
