The recent talks about Ingram and Baker & Taylor have made me wonder what
percentage of public libraries use one of these vendors (or others) as their
primary source of materials. Can you point me to a statistical report or other
documentation that describes how much of the public library markets is "owned"
by these vendors?  I would even appreciate a table comparing various offerings
of each vendor/publisher.  Anything would help.
