This volume surveys the wide spectrum of applications for which automation in libraries is appropriate and has been attempted. The first section provides a historical perspective, from early technical support systems to online technical support systems, the public catalog, information retrieval services, and interlibrary lending. The second section on planning and preparation covers recurring themes and present trends; the options and resources basic to planning, preparation, selecting, procuring, and introducing automated systems, and converting bibliographic records to machine-readable form. The final section deals with applying the principles of automation to the workings of the library, and covers the role of bibliographic utilities, characteristics of technical support systems, the user interface (dialogue languages, search logistics, and bibliographic displays) of the outline catalog and online search services. ISBN 0-8352-1489-3 : $37.50.

Libraries are becoming increasingly automated. Many libraries have already become automated, and librarians have had to confront a new set of problems in their jobs. Many other libraries are not yet automated, but will soon be acquiring new technology and new problems. This book provides detailed techniques for coping with the problems inherent in automation. While other works offer thorough coverage of the library automation process, this volume provides case studies of the personal experiences of librarians who have had to solve problems related to automation. Included are case studies from large academic libraries, special libraries, public libraries, and smaller libraries. The first section of the book includes chapters on locally developed library automation systems and how those systems have adapted to change. The second section contains chapters on selecting, buying, and installing automation systems. The third section includes chapters on the sharing of automated systems by different libraries. The fourth section, on database maintenance and conversion, contains chapters important to all librarians. The fifth section discusses the management of automated systems. The book concludes with a bibliographic essay that overviews developments in library automation technology and lists sources for further information.
