Library Automation and Digitization:
Concepts, Tools and Approaches brings to the forefront, the increasing
recognition of the value of knowledge and information to individuals,
organizations, and communities, providing an analysis of the concepts of library
automation and digitization that prevails among the library and information
science (LIS) community.
Thus, the book explores knowledge management
from the perspective of LIS professionals. Furthermore, unlike most books on
the topic, which address it almost exclusively in the context of a firm or an
organisation to help gain a competitive advantage, this book looks at library
automation and digitization in the context of not for profit organisations such
as libraries.
