1."Vendors are wondering how many people are going to stay away… and what that means for booth traffic," commented Carl Grant of VTLS. Added Dick Gottlieb of the reference publisher Grey House, "The combination of heat, lack of services, and general malaise almost guarantees a less than satisfactory attendance." Still, he said he'd wait to consult with fellow publishers at the Midwinter Meeting before making a decision.
“销售商会担心有多少人愿意出来。”VTLS公司（一家提供图书馆自动化系统解决方案的美国公司）的卡尔•格兰特说。灰屋出版社的迪克•古特雷则担心炎热、公共服务设施的缺乏会让每个趁兴而来的参会者感到全身不适。他说他将在冬季会议上与会员出版商协商后才能作出是否参会的决定。
