Development of an integrated automated system in the Department of Printed Books in the National Library of Wales

Abstract

This article presents a resumé of the development, implementation and the first year of live operation in the Department of Printed Books at the National Library of Wales of a major automation system supplied by McDonnell Douglas Information Systems Limited based upon a version of their integrated library package URICA. The paper continues with a summary of the lessons that were learnt in introducing a sophisticated integrated computer system into an organisation where little experience of automated library practice was available.
