Here is a basic, comprehensive guide to the essential components of automation planning in medium-sized and smaller libraries. Emphasizing modular (often microcomputer-based) options, the authors discuss the entire process, from defining basic concepts and terms through establishing priorities, designing specifications, preparing RFPs, and negotiating contracts. The final section covers specifics such as standards, machine-readable cataloging, training and public relations, and the life cycle of automated systems. Fully documented with sample forms, charts, and recommended reading, it will prove invaluable for public, academic, special, or school librarians.
