The present age is very aptly termed as information/knowledge age. Computers have revolutionised the work culture of modern day world. In the field of library profession computers have made a big headway. The growth in number and variety of devices for business data processing e.g. accounting machines punched card equipment computers etc. is a direct result of the need for systems and procedures to handle the paperwork explosion. The use of computers has introduced a new approach to systems and procedures called total management information systems. Notably the combination of modern communications with computer allows the integration of result data about an organisation can easily be acquired retrieved processed and used for management control. Here we have made an attempt to portray role of computers in libraries in pros and cons. 278 pp.

It is remarkable to note that reference librarianship the professional specialty that has reference service as its focus had its origins in the second half of the nineteenth century partially in response to one of that era's most important accomplishment the spread of education. As more people were educated educational institutions grew in size and the size and complexity of libraries grew as well. At the same time changes in educational practices required more students to use their college libraries for research purposes. As the educational level of the general population rose more people came to their local public libraries to use the collections there. Because these individuals were not skilled in library use the need for an intermediatory between library users and library collections was gradually recognised. That intermediatory was a librarian and within a short time a reference librarian. The state of reference librarianship today is similar in one respect at least to the state of western society in the nineteenth century that is it is in the midst of radical change more so than at any time in its history. 270 pp.

The need to organise large amounts of knowledge and information led to the development of classifications schemes and other organisational tools. Rapid changes in the way information is generated and accessed lead to changes in the way information is organised for retrieval. The first edition of the Dewey Classification (DDC) was published in 1876 when knowledge was expanding at a fast rate and the public library system was becoming a more open system. The DDC provided a new organisational scheme for dealing with these changes. Today the internet allows information to be generated and packaged in digital format. Can library classification improve access and retrieval of internet resources. This book examines the purpose of library classification and explores how classification schemes can add values. 264 pp.

The growth in number and variety of devices for business data processing e.g. accounting machines punched card equipment computers etc. is a direct result of the need for systems and procedures to handle the paper work explosion. The use of computers has introduced a new approach to systems and procedures called total management information systems. Notably the combination of modern communications with computer allows the integration of result data about an organisation can easily be acquired retrieved processed and used for management control. In fact at present the magnitude of problem faced by libraries seems to be at critical juncture. With further growth of libraries in size and services and their participation in national/international networks and introduction of mechanisation libraries must develop tools for scientific management matching to tasks they face. Attuned to the particular characteristics of the library its management problems and its information systems functions libraries will need to develop tools of their own. 276 pp.
