We're happy to do some research into this and create something like a spreadsheet that will compare the features and price points of products. We can use the TLA conference to pin down vendors on pricing, scalability, etc. Here's one place to start, with an overview of trends in the industry: http://www.librarytechnology.org/ See you all at TLA!

I'm more interested in what real libraries think. -Donita
