Library Automation:Design, Principles and Practice

Automation in libraries is becoming increasingly common in recent years in India, particularly in corporate, R&D and higher education sectors. Although more and more libraries are introducing library automation, significantly large portion of libraries still follow manual processes. Potential market for library automation software, and library professionals who have a good understanding of library automation processes and practices, is thus quite large in the country. So, a book on library automation discussing current developments, principles, practices and trends is quite welcome.
