Abstract

Merthyr Tydfil Public Libraries, the smallest public library authority in England and Wales, has introduced its first library management system at the same time as the People’s Network. The paper describes the process of selecting and implementing the final chosen system from Talis Information. In addition, the impact on staff who have had to change their working practices in a very short space of time is described.
