The browsing method in the operation of a library, allows the organisation and collection of data, based on specific questions or keywords. The data is stored in the computer network, establishing new content and a high density network of data system. Upgradation to a computer system is essential to establish a library network system; from the perspective of a comprehensive survey and access to sufficient data; so as to better manage the information and data in the library.

The invention of the computer has brought in a rapid change in society. Therefore, automation has become the need of the hour. Library automation not only improves the image of the library staff but also provides additional services to the users with the existing staff. The impact of automation on the library is quite obvious; it creates a new environment where each function redefines the traditional organizational structure and transforms it into new institutional entries. In this book a brief overview is given about library automation. Automation is defined as a technique, a process, or a system which operates automatically. Library Automation is generally defined as the replacement of manual operations in libraries by computerized methods. Started in the late 1970s in a few special libraries, it has now reached most of the university libraries. Over the past three decades, libraries have changed considerably as bibliographic utilities, online catalogues, automated circulation systems, and other new technologies have been implemented in a majority of library operations and services.

Information professionals who would be the leaders in the twenty-first century depend on information for their work. Access to information holds the key to development. Libraries which store houses of knowledge and information, and information centers which disseminate knowledge and information, form two important components of present day society. While there is a deluge of information on one hand, the cost of collecting, processing, storing and disseminating information has been spiraling up on the other hand. This calls for heavy budgets for libraries even to maintain a reasonable level of acquisition of journals, books and reports. Information buying power of libraries has been declining year after year. Because of this, resource sharing and cooperative functioning through networking have become inescapable for libraries and information centers worldwide. Efficient resource sharing can be achieved by using the recent advances in information technology for realizing a network of libraries.

The answer to this question lies in the advent of technology and the rise of the internet. Until the 1900s researchers relied heavily on physical print including published papers, magazines and books, etc. to decipher information and gather knowledge. However today the most common method for doing the same has become online search engines. The rise of technology has also led to accessibility of information at any given time of the day making it much more convenient for individuals to gather and share information. In this regard, automation is a way of preparing the collection to become sustainable with the ever-increasing shift to a technology-based society. By streamlining the library's collection it allows for an improvement in the variety, amount and quality of materials on offer.

These resources may include tangible investments like computer hardware, software, data, networks and data centre facilities, as well as the staff who are hired to maintain them.

This book comprehensively covers the management of resources, including hardware, software, data, networks, and personnel. It addresses core management functions such as budgeting, staffing, change management, organizing, and controlling, alongside technology-specific aspects like software design, network planning, and tech support.
