- A Survey of Commonplace Problems in Library Automation; Volume 11, World Survey Series. Patrinostro, Frank S., Ed. Libraries Library Automation Library Surveys Problem Solving Problems Questionnaires Questionnaires were sent to over 600 libraries requesting information on problems encountered and solutions arrived at in implementing computer-based systems. The responses--containing a statement of the problem, its cause, and solution--make up the bulk of this document. Most of the problems cited can be tied to the following features of library automation: many concepts of traditional librarianship must be changed; greater integration, both within the library community as a whole and the various departments within a single library organization, is required; measuring one individual's work is difficult since his contribution is integrated with that of several others; there is a need for increased communication; poor planning; and, irrevocable commitments to a system that later proves to be impractical. (Other publications in this series are ED 060904, 060873, 063005 and 076210.) (Author/SJ)
