Download or read book Understanding Library Microcomputer Systems written by Roger C. Palmer and published by Studio City, CA : Pacific Information. This book was released on 1988 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed to help explain library automation to the librarian or student, this handbook presents a case to be solved, i.e., the creation of a book acquisition system for a special library; the steps to be taken to solve the problem; and a users' manual for the system to be provided to the client. The handbook is divided into three major sections: (1) analysis and design (systems development life cycle, understanding requirements, system design, software selection, hardware choices, customization for local options, interpreted code versus compiled code, and suggested readings); (2) book acquisition system users' manual (getting started, authority files, book acquisitions, reports and forms, online searching, and system utilities); and (3) suggestions for further investigation (additional exercises are included here to present further experience in system design). Eight suggested readings focus on dBase programming, the language the acquisition system is written in, and information is provided for ordering the dBase programs in hard copy with an accompanying magnetic disk of the source code.

Download or read book Data Management for Libraries written by V. J. Suseela and published by Ess Ess Publication. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A library is a system that consists of inter-dependent and interrelated sub-systems that generate huge amounts of data. It shares the common data within the system and across the systems. In modern integrated library systems, the bibliographic data is primarily connected to various other sub-systems. The back-end relational database management systems (RDBMS) are effective in organizing the data in standard formats while avoiding data redundancy. The data created from this process is usually made available to users for their retrieval. Thus, the entire cycle revolves around the growing information requirements of users. This book attempts to focus on creating and understanding the basic concepts of databases, library databases, DBMS/RDBMS functioning at the backend of LIS operations in building such databases while specifying the usefulness of DBMS approach in the effective retrieval of information from library catalogs, as well as from external online databases. The relevant strategies to be applied in information retrieval and useful tools are briefly dealt with, with information given on emerging trends in library data management.
