systems, programing language are forging and reliable systems are staging. Price
structures of mainframe computers and minicomputers have substantially reduced
owing to change in import policy. Microprocessors with higher and powerful capacities
entered the market. Networks of various databases stormed into the users area. A
new synergistic development has been formed with the new technological process
and network of 'library and information automation. The traditional way of information
dissemination is disappearing and the librarians are forced to develop creative work
in the ever challenging world. The relative automation activity is revitalizing many
libraries. The contribution of the new generation automated systems augments and
supplements the efforts of enthusiastic library professionals. The usage of personal
computers forms the base tool for information automation functions and activities in
the large integrated systems. The traditional librarians are being transformed into
systems librarians and learn the knowledge with the tools in their arms and develop
themselves into new generation library and information professionals duly integrating
