An Automation Primer for School Library Media Centers and Small Libraries
From School Library Journal This is a comprehensive and unpretentious manual for those with little experience in automated library resources and for those who seek to update or improve existing automation systems. It provides mostly overviews of concepts and vocabularies from OPACs to MARC records to WWW2, and offers suggested resources for detailed specifications to using systems and equipment to organize and access collections. The strengths of this manual are its succinct definitions for commonly used (often misused) terminology and the suggestion for methodically planning and then recognizing library automation. This could be a useful resource to a very specific audience.—Jodi Kearns, University of Akron, OH Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist This thorough guide to library automation provides an in-depth look at the many components and options available to school libraries. Topics discussed include defining automation systems, features of systems, Web access, technical considerations, and emerging technologies. In addition, the book outlines a step-by-step process of project planning, selection, and site preparation. Each of the ten chapters provides a listing of print and online references or companies to contact for further information. Among the appendixes are a list of vendors, MARC record components, and a sample request for proposals. A glossary, bibliography, and index conclude the text. Individuals in library media centers or school districts exploring automation options, whether they are looking for site-based, networked, or^B Web-based systems, will want to devote time to reading this manual.
