Bibliography on Mechanized Library Processes

This bibliography contains 155 English- language items of literature on the mechanization of library processes. These processes include acquisitions, circulation control, handling of serials, selection of document copies, and intercommunication between libraries. Mechanized information retrieval is not included, i.e., subject searching by machine. Further, the common uses of data processing by libraries for such functions as payroll and accounting are not included. Mechanized equipment includes punched- card accounting machines, computers, automatic typewriters, or automatic selection devices. All these devices involve machine -usable file media such as punched cards, magnetic tape, and punched paper tape. Thus ordinary typewriters and reproduction devices are not included. The use of edge-notched cards is also not included.published or submitted for publicatio
