The ILS Marketplace
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 2002, libraries spent more than $530 million on library systems and related services. Among academic, public and research libraries, more than 800 either migrated to a new integrated library system (ILS) or significantly upgraded their existing one.1 (These figures include the major ILS vendors in these markets: Dynix, Endeavor Information Systems, Ex Libris, Innovative Interfaces, Sirsi, TLC/CARL, and VTLS.) Library automation expert Marshall Breeding, in Library Journal, further estimates that 3,767 libraries are operating on legacy systems that will require replacement within the next three to five years.1

Modeling the Solubility of Acid Gases in Ionic Liquids
In this work, the PC-SAFT equation of state (EoS) has been used to model the solubility of acid gases (CO2 and H2S) in two imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) ([C8-mim][PF6] and [C8-mim][Tf2N]). Parameters of pure ILs were estimated using experimental densities. Two strategies were considered to model densities of pure ILs. In strategy 1, ILs were modeled as nonassociating compounds and in st...
متن کاملMagic Mountains and Multi-disciplines in International Medical Mobilities; Comment on “Patient Mobility in the Global Marketplace: A Multidisciplinary Perspective”
Medical mobilities offer both opportunities and challenges. This tension follows the same ratio as many other historic fora, but offers at the same time a sustainable equilibrium. Multi-disciplines are, therefore, the key to the medical lifeworld for the global health and well-being of transnational health users around the globe.

This article is a commentary of an overview on “medical tourism” submitted by Lunt and Marrion, which describes a framework for the study of the issues related to medical tourism. The commentary attempts to differentiate between the current interest in medical tourism and the time-honored and well-established treatment abroad from countries with underdeveloped health systems. The commentary als...
متن کاملModeling Solubility Behavior of CO2 in [C2-mim][BF4] and [C4-mim][BF4] Ionic Liquids by sPC-SAFT Equation of State
The simplified perturbed chain statistical associating fluid theory (sPC-SAFT) Equation of State (EOS) was proposed to describe the thermodynamic properties of pure ionic liquids (ILs). A set of sPC-SAFT parameters for 2 ILs was obtained by fitting the experimental liquid densities data over a wide range of temperature at atmospheric pressure. Good agreement with experimental density data was o...
