"Library management systems are but a segment of a world of information technology and elsewhere there are a variety of systems which are designed primarily to present the user with information which they use directly, but in electronic form. The technologies which cover electronic information delivery include CD ROM, online access to remote data base.

As is obvious from the name of the title this book covers some important issues : multimedia, hypermedia, and hypertext, search language, export and import of data library automation, software package, etc. and will immensely benefit the library professionals, students and teachers." (jacket)
