There are approximately 1.600 Mandarin installation in US libraries, about 92% of which are in school libraries. Presents the results of a questionnaire survey of 85 Mandarin users who were asked to rate the product. A selection of comments from the survey respondents cover topics such as ease of use for staff and students; cost; technical support; searching capabilities; and system flexibility
