This guide focuses on the implementation and management of
second-generation automated library systems. It advances knowledge
of the field by describing the migration path of library automated
systems. Specifically, the book is intended to give practical
directions in procuring a replacement library automated system. As
such, the text reviews new approaches to library automation which
rely on knowledge gained over the past two decades. In charting the
procurement process, the book indicates how to migrate the
library's database. It discusses state-of-the-art technology such
as scanning and imaging devices, and provides descriptions and
analyses of telecommunications and networking technology and
issues.
This book is intended as an automation planning guide for
librarians and library administrators. The book expands the subject
to include special, public and academic libraries and takes into
account the experience of those libraries which have already
automated and are now considering migration to more powerful
automated library systems. Special attention is given to integrated
library systems and to innovative and still-emerging technologies
which complement these systems. No other text exists that is
written at a level that acknowledges the increased sophistication
of librarians with automation.
