Information technology and its applications in polytechnic libraries

Abstract

It is the purpose of this paper to pick out some of the general trends in development of information technology indicated by Professor Paker and identify their relevance to library and information work in polytechnics, although many of my remarks will apply to other institutions of higher and further education. However, before considering the technology in some detail, it is worth reviewing why after many years of developments in computerised library services we find ourselves at present discussing information technology and library applications within the frame‐work of IT82.
