Information Technology in Special Libraries

"Information Technology and Special Libraries" provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the introduction of computer systems into special libraries. It offers advice on the planning process, areas of application, and choice of hardware and software for librarians in special libraries who are all too often cut off from the help and expertise of other professional colleagues. Exploring the new range of microcomputer-based systems, hardware and specialized software now available to smaller libraries, the book highlights the particular benefits of information technology in providing sophisticated levels of service to special library users.
