LIBR 551, Library Automation and Systems (3
credits)
University of British Columbia, School of Library, Archival and Information
Studies. "Libraries and information centers are constantly changing. One
of the drivers of this change is technology. Information Professionals are

that it best meets user and organizational needs. They need a host of
skills and understandings including an understanding of library operations,
technological proficiencies, an understanding of human resources
development in technological settings, and basic management and planning
skills. The goal of this course is to provide students with a sound
understanding of how libraries apply technology to deliver information by
using library automation systems for inventory control and/or bibliographic
descriptions of paper-based collections as examples. This course will also
examine the transition from closed systems supporting text-only based
computing to the technology and systems necessary to support access to
open network-based digital (multimedia) collections."
