Based on information and data from 113 Association of Research Libraries (ARL) members that were gathered and updated between March and August 1986, this publication was generated from a database developed by ARL to provide timely, comparable information about the extent and nature of automation within the ARL community. Trends in automation are traced in the areas of operating status, locally developed and amended vendor systems, system extent beyond the library, ownership status, public access, and amount of integration; and comparative responses from 1985 and 1986 are presented for the number and percentage of libraries reporting automation status and integrated status. In addition, this document includes: an introduction summarizing trends in automation and changes from the 1985 inventory; the survey letter, instruction and code sheet, and automated in-house systems listing; a listing of libraries and contact persons; listings sorted by function; complete listings of all functions in alphabetical order by library; and comments.

The genre of library services platforms helps libraries manage their collection materials and automate many aspects of their operations by addressing a wider range of resources and taking advantage of current technology architectures compared to the integrated library systems that have previously dominated. This issue of Library Technology Reports explores this new category of library software, including its functional and technical characteristics. It highlights the differences with integrated library systems, which remain viable for many libraries and continue to see development along their own trajectory. This report provides an up-to-date assessment of these products, including those that have well-established track records as well as those that remain under development. The relationship between library services platforms and discovery services is addressed. The report does not provide detailed listings of features of each product, but gives a general overview of the high-level organization of functionality, the adoption patterns relative to size, types, and numbers of libraries that have implemented them, and how these libraries perceive their performance. This seminal category of library technology products has gained momentum in recent years and is positioned to reshape how libraries acquire, manage, and provide access to their

New Automation Technology for Acquisitions and Collection Development describes how automation is changing the face of acquisitions as librarians know it and making the future uncertain yet exciting. It documents how libraries have increasingly moved to powerful, second-generation interfaceable or integrated systems that can control all aspects of library operations. The libraries presented as examples show that increasing user expectations, the siren call of cyberspace and network connectivity, and administrative faith in the savings to be obtained from electronic technical services continue to drive the migration to higher-level library management systems. Editor Rosann Bazirjian brings together authors who focus on 5 major themes: the development of automated systems vended services automation and its effects on reorganization the purchasing of electronic resources the relationship between automated acquisitions and accounting The chapters assert that for the acquisitions librarian, second-generation systems hold many promises--in addition to greater speed and functionality, acquisition data may be accessible to a wide user group. They stress the importance of the acquisitions librarian obtaining a system that serves all basic acquisition functions, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Included are a description of the Joint Application Design (JAD) process and a developmental progression of serials automation. An overview of FastCat shows its impact on workflow in acquisitions and technical services. The book gives ways to evaluate vendor systems and shows the influence of vended services on acquisitions procedures and their benefits to the profession. By reading New Automation Technology for Acquisitions and Collection Development, acquisitions librarians learn their role in purchasing and acquiring electronic resources and different ways of providing access to them. Suggested answers to selection, purchase, and access questions provide invaluable information. The book gives valuable financial insight, describing the interface between the library and university financial accounting systems, types of audits, the important aspects of standard accounting procedures, and the procedures for an audit trail in the automated acquisitions environment. New Automation Technology for Acquisitions and Collection Development keeps acquisitions librarians up-to-date with the latest developments in their field. The book explores all areas of automation and examines the librarian’s role in these times of change. It is a must read for librarians who need to know the latest developments in their field.
