- Automated and Computerized Information Services for Libraries. Handley, Lee Computers Library Automation Library Expenditures Library Networks Public Libraries Though many of the functions of libraries are analogous to functions performed in the business world, public libraries have been disadvantaged by their reluctance to adopt computer technology. Though costs have previously been prohibitive and lack of uniformity in library processes has made the use of the new technology awkward, recently-developed specialized computers with flexibility to adapt to diverse library situations can economically and efficiently perform library functions. In the future, computer technology will play an increasingly large role in library services. (EMH)
