 |  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.  1997/226 pp/hardbound |
