dc.description.abstractMany libraries in developed countries have automated their housekeeping functions; a few developing countries have already made moves towards automation while others are still planning for it. The planning process in library automation is highlighted. Aspects such as setting objectives; assessing the existing system; evaluating options; writing specifications for the required system; resources; the human factor; and maintenance are considered. A note of caution is sounded to libraries intending to automate, particularly those in developing countries where resources are scarce.en_US
