Automatisierung in nigerianischen Bibliotheken: Ein Überblick

The book examines automation programs with a particular focus on Nigerian libraries. It addresses various aspects of automation programs, starting from the introduction of computers to their application in library services, packages available both domestically and internationally, and support services for software packages. Topics such as digitization, databases, and other issues related to library automation, including networks, resource sharing, the internet, and digital libraries, are also discussed. Since the target audience is Nigerian libraries, the aforementioned topics are relevant to them. The book is written in a way that also makes it applicable to other West African countries. A textbook like this, with such a collection of content on the topic of automation for Nigerian libraries and users, is hard to find. With topics that focus exclusively on automation in Nigerian libraries, the automation experiences of some Nigerian libraries and many local examples make it a valuable resource on automation in Nigeria. These areas of general discussion on automation have been included due to the impact they will have on Nigerian libraries and their users. The language used is simple and the style is clear.
