Abstract

The Library automation programme supports research which is aimed at improving the efficiency of library operations through the use of computer systems and other forms of automation. It includes: the evaluation of applications of Information Technology in libraries and information units; investigating various methods of storing, retrieving and processing library records; and improvement of library systems to make them more effective and simpler to use. It also provides support for various information and demonstration services to provide librarians with data about library automation to aid their decision making.
