Since that time, the pace of technological development and of automation has accelerated, affecting both the internal workings of the library and the services offered to patrons. To provide an overview of library automation in the 1980s, the present Reader brings together chapters selected from 1983 and 1984 Professional Librarian monographs on various aspects of the automation effort. |
