The book provides a practical understanding of library system software, networks, online information and access, portals, open URL linking, and the fusion of digital and print collections. Each chapter opens with definitions of the most commonly used terms and closes with review questions for classroom use, making it equally valuable as a textbook and as a professional resource for updating work skills. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe roles of library technicians and assistants have changed dramatically in the past twenty years as computers have transformed every area of day-to-day library operations. And nowhere have those changes been more obvious than when dealing with online data that hasn't undergone the same quality control and selection processes traditionally used with library resources. As ordering and cataloging processes have been streamlined, and reference and research services have been turned into twenty-four hour help centers, Computers in Libraries is a practical guide to keeping pace with the changes you faceevery day, in every aspect of your work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eComputers in Libraries examines: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e how computers work\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Internet protocols and applications\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e integrated management system structure and administration\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e acquisitions financial management\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e online cataloging standards\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e circulation parameters and policies\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e course reserves\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e serials control\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC)\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e resource sharing standards\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e searching online databases\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e creating online content\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e digital libraries and electronic publishing\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e bibliographic standards and practices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eComputers in Libraries is an important resource for library professionals striving to stay a step ahead in their field and for students who will need to be up to speed on the technological aspects of library work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CRC Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46930463031447,"sku":"9780789021519","price":2481.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780789021519.webp?v=1771607057","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/computers-in-libraries-an-introduction-for-library-technicians-9780789021519","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
