About this title

Synopsis

What are the key issues that the information manager needs to grasp about the influence of information technology on library management and information retrieval? Library management systems maintain and manipulate records of the transactions associated with the operation of the library. Information retrieval is concerned with text information management systems, CD-ROM and online access to external databases. This book analyses new systems in the application of information technology in libraries and offers a structural approach to the key issues. The book is divided into three sections. Section one offers a brief introduction to computer systems. Section two examines information retrieval applications. Section three reviews library management systems.
