So far as Geac is concerned no-one has approached us for accurate
information about our users in the UK - and the information below is both
inaccurate and misleading. Geac has in fact over 400 public libraries in the
UK including Europe's largest library system (Essex County Council) and four
of the five libraries which issue over 1,000,000 items per year.
Staffordshire is not one of our customers. In addition our customers include
many academic and special libraries, including three of the six copyright
libraries in the UK. Worldwide we have over 800 customers. If accurate
information on this topic is needed then please contact me.
