The ISO 11620 standard and library automated systems

Abstract

This paper is based on research carried out in Liverpool John Moores University, and investigates the capability of three library automated systems to generate datasets necessary to form the ISO 11620 draft standard on performance measurement in libraries. Gives background to the standard and details how the Talis, Dynix Classic and Innopac systems can generate the datasets. Concludes that the systems are weak in generating the necessary management data.
