Perspectives for Expania Strengths: Cohesive group with good internal communication Good technical expertise of members Good communication with GD/EL Weaknesses: Members don´t have time to devote to association Members not very implicated Poor international projection 19/11/2017 NATIONAL MEETING & GENERAL ASSEMBLY USE.PT – 20/02/2015

Perspectives for Expania Opportunities To drive localization and adaptation of products acording to users interest To expand the membership base with new installations & products (Consortiated Primo, Alma) Threats Membership base reduced because clients leaving EL products (strong competition) Reduced funding makes difficult to evolve into new products 19/11/2017 NATIONAL MEETING & GENERAL ASSEMBLY USE.PT – 20/02/2015

Perspectives for Expania Number of formal members is declining but people is participating (specially in annual meetings) we hope it can increase in the near future 19/11/2017 NATIONAL MEETING & GENERAL ASSEMBLY USE.PT – 20/02/2015

Library Software Scenario in Spain Funding reduced last years (20%)  Difficult to introduce new products if price increases Very strong competition among providers, specially for discovery tools (good for prices) Discovery tools widespread (not many Primos) Some big consortia & libraries studying to go to new generation ILS but many prefer to wait until more mature products enter the market and competition is stronger 19/11/2017 NATIONAL MEETING & GENERAL ASSEMBLY USE.PT – 20/02/2015

Library Software Scenario in Spain Primo  New important consortium installation Alma early adopters  Probably, but not yet 19/11/2017 NATIONAL MEETING & GENERAL ASSEMBLY USE.PT – 20/02/2015
