AB  - A key area affecting library management is the effective and efficient
management and development of information systems. The concept of an
information systems development methodology (ISDM) is a management
approach that has been virtually ignored in the context of library
management. Provides a critique of the literature relating to ISDMs with
a view to exploring their use by libraries in the future. Examines the
historical development of ISDMs, followed by a definition of the term,
and an outline of the requirements for ISDM. Subsequently discusses
themes in information systems development in relation to the main types
of ISDM associated with them, leading to a consideration of the problems
with ISDMs and with their usage. Outlines the need for the further
refinement of ISDMs in the light of these problems. Finally, suggests
theoretical reasons for the use of ISDMs by library managers.
