TY - JOUR AB - EDITORIAL Starting this edition of VINE on a personal note, I feel I ought to introduce myself as the new 0.S.T.I. Information Officer for Library Automation. I have just completed my Dip.Lib. at the College of Librarianship Wales where I took ‘computer applications in libraries’ as my special option. This course followed a degree at Cambridge, a short spell with National Data Processing Services and a period of training at Cambridge University Library. My interest in library automation stems from the days when I considered how some of the techniques employed by NDPS could be used in a library context. I hope VINE will similarly demonstrate the possibilities of an exchange of ideas between librarianship and automation.
