What is Library Automation? Library automation can be defined simply as the use of computer and networking technologies in the library. Areas of Library Automation: Automation of library functions Use of electronic resources within the library (e.g. CD-ROMs) Accessing remote electronic resources (e.g. the Internet) Office automation (e.g. word-processing‚ spreadsheets‚ databases‚ etc.) Patron services (e.g. computer laboratory‚ multimedia center) Objectives of Library Automation:

An automated library is one where a computer system is used to manage one or several of the library’s key functions such as acquisitions‚ serials control‚ cataloging‚ circulation and the public access catalog. When exploring the history of library automation‚ it is possible to return to past centuries when visionaries well before the computer age created devices to assist with their book lending systems. Even as far back as 1588‚ the invention of the French ’Book Wheel’ allowed scholars to

A technology revolution is fast replacing human beings with machines in virtually every sector and industry in the global economy. Already‚ millions of workers have been permanently eliminated from the economic process‚ and whole work categories and job assignments have shrunk‚ been restructured‚ or disappeared. Global unemployment has now reached its highest level since the great depression of the 1930s. More than 800 million human beings are now unemployed or underemployed in the world. That figure

AUTOMATION AND ROBOTICS What is the distinction between ’Automation’ and ’Robotics’? ’Robots’ is only a small sub-set of the technologies covered by the much broader term Automation’. ’Automation’ refers to a mode of operation in which any machine or piece of equipment is capable of working without human intervention. Originally‚ automation was limited in its potential‚ as automatic machines could only replace physical effort and not mental effort. Automation is generally regarded as being
