The Library Administrator’s Automation
Handbook
By Richard Boss
The book describes the present state of local library
automation: the planning, selection, and implementation
process as well as the library administrator’s role
in that process. Through a discussion of hardware, system
architectures, software, standards, data communication,
and the planning, procurement, and costs of automation,
the author lays down a foundation on which automation
decisions can be made. Although the emphasis is on automated
library systems, the book includes chapters on related
technologies, such as CD-ROM, remote database services,
and the Internet, including the World Wide Web.
