Library Information Technology: Decision Maker’s Manual

Informationis the life-blood of a community information sercvice and the information file is at its heart. Unless the heart is sound and continually pumping a supply of regularly renewed and fresh information into the system, it will not function at its best. The library is the place where individual needs for knowledge and information are met through the collective provision and interpretation of resources; technological developments which put the individual consumer directly in touch with a global information market- place create an apparently barren future for this particular public service. The Library Decision Maker’s Manual is simple and concise, yet comprehensive to include the new information to deal with the information explosion phenomena.
