| contents | Microcomputers and the Library: A Planning Guide for Managers. Walton, Robert A. Computer Programs Computer Storage Devices Computers Input Output Devices Library Administration Library Automation Library Planning Merchandise Information Microcomputers Program Implementation Resource Materials This manual was designed to provide the library manager or supervisor with a basic understanding of microcomputer hardware, software, procurement, and supervision. While developed for a summer workshop series, it can also serve as an introductory text. Separate chapters cover 10 major topics: (1) the microtechnology revolution; (2) how a microprocessor chip is made; (3) internal memories and data storage; (4) microcomputer bus standards and configurations; (5) peripheral devices; (6) software basics; (7) software development, requirements, and maintenance; (8) sources of information on the microcomputer hardware/software market, including microcomputer literature, technical reporting services, user groups, and vendors; (9) microcomputer management; and (10) management of the public access microcomputer program. Terms and operations are further explained with 16 illustrations. Appendices include a guide to the five types of microprocessors likely to be referenced by vendors, a 60-item bibliography, diagrams for interpreting hardware and software product literature, a schematic for reading a microcomputer hardware configuration, a list of computer clubs and microcomputer user groups, the ASCII character set, and a list of microcomputer publications.
