contents	Automation of Technical Services in Booth Library: A Feasibility Study. Rao, Paladugu V. Cataloging Feasibility Studies Library Acquisition Library Automation Library Material Selection Library Research Library Technical Processes A study was conducted to determine: (1) whether technical processes at the Booth Library, Eastern Illinois University, should be automated; and (2) if automation were required, which system would be economically and technically feasible. Data from 323 technical service transactions were selected on a random basis between July 1971 and June 1973, and the data analysis revealed sluggish movement of books through technical processing. Automation of specific processes was recommended and appropriate technology was identified. The proposed system called for use of Library of Congress Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) tapes to generate new book notices, book orders, and catalog cards. It was estimated that the new system would save over $30,000 within five years of its implementation. (EMH/PF)
