About this Book

The Costas offer practical advice on virtually every aspect of computerization for libraries in the 1990s. The introduction brings the reader up to date on the changes that have taken place in the last decade. The basic organization of the book remains the same as in previous editions (first in 1983, second in 1986), but all chapters have been completely updated, particularly the most technical chapters, those on hardware and software.
