Management information from commercial automated library housekeeping systems: report of a survey

Abstract

Background A survey was undertaken in November 1988 of libraries in polytechnics and universities in England and Wales having automated library systems. Its purpose was to find out whether management information had been a factor in the choice of those systems, what the opinion of libraries was about facilities for management information, and the sorts of use that had been made of the facilities. The survey was carried out in the specific context of background to the preparation of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the MSc in Information Systems and Technology at City University; it is reported here because of interest expressed by respondents to the survey.
