This volume seeks to identify the specialized needs of librarians and presents software that meets the particular demand of libraries. Adding to his ""101 Micro Series"", which includes ""202 Software Packages"" (ALA, 1995) and ""303 CD-ROMs to Use in Your Library"" (ALA, 1996), the author seeks to approach each product with a librarian's understanding of organizational needs. He discusses the technology planning process and its impact on future software selections. Considering matters from assistance for the disabled to personnel management, he profiles software packages and suggests cost-effective but adequate tools. A comprehensive appendix with company addresses is also included, with a list of Internet resources.
