New perspectives on library management systems: a Pilgrim's Progress

Abstract

The outlook now for the library automation industry is perhaps more positive than at any other time in recent years. At last there are real prospects for change and growth. However, the future role of the library management system is by no means clear, and the challenge which this presents, to suppliers and librarians alike, is the main theme of this contribution.
