Thank you for the information, but, being a non-librarian, I do not give a poop.

Not automated libraries, automated systems, IE the computers they use.

You've got to pay them and give them benefits.

Oh, for the old days, when a library Director could make the staff work 12 hour days! Fire them on a whim! Make them grovel and plead for their pitiful pay! Require them to fire the (coal) furnace, and watch them sweat in summer and fire them if they got sick or pregnant! I've said it before and I'll say it again, the public library would be a great place to work if it wasn't for the patrons and the staff.

What for we need automatic libraries? Something wrong with human staff?

The two largest library automation companies in the world have merged.

Probably means very little to non-librarians.

I probably will not give a poop, but you know you have perked curiosity, so what does it mean?

According to what I'm seen on listservs today, including an announcement to SIRSI customers from Patrick Sommers, SIRSI and Dynix signed a merger agreement yesterday.

You librarians out there (and there are a couple) will know what this means. I sincerely doubt that anyone else will give a poop.
