Study of the Problems of Pre and Post Automation in College Libraries in Eastern Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

Automation has become an important part of today's libraries. Libraries are being automated to replace conventional libraries, which provide a number of issues, particularly for College Libraries in Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The primary concerns with automating libraries, according to the research, may be classified into two categories: pre-automation problems and post-automation problems. Other flaws highlighted were, among others, inadequate database architecture, a lack of information literacy instruction for patrons, and poor utilisation of online information resources. To deliver new services to its clients, libraries use a variety of strategies, including computerised operations such as acquisition, automation, and OPAC. This report presents some of the experiences and makes an attempt to survey and appraise the Pre and Post Automation Problems in College Libraries in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
