内容説明

The information professional is increasingly faced with large-scale and challenging projects for planning and integrating library systems and technologies. Today's integrated system must automate traditional library functions and also be capable of connecting with remote databases and the Internet. Such projects can appear daunting, and expert advice is needed to demystify the complexities of the tasks involved. This handbook is a basic, comprehensive guide for information services planning to introduce a new or replacement automated system. Emphasis is placed throughout on the contribution careful and systematic planning makes to successful systems implementation. This fully updated second edition includes new chapters on developing a strategic approach to regularly assessing and evaluating your technology plan; accessing electronic resources, databases and e-boooks using your system; and incorporating digitized collections into your website. Adapted for the non-US market by a UK library systems consultant, the text is fully supported by sample forms and charts and by a full range of sources and readings. Other topics covered include: developing a basic technology plan; planning system migrations; assessing needs and settoing priorities; writing and updating your strategic technology plan; a model two-day process for developing a basic strategic plan; selecting and implementing integrated library systems; planning in-house collection databases; maintaining the bibliogeraphic database; applying MARC and other standards; working with consultants.
