Library Automation: Enhancing Efficiency and Empowering Librarians through Technology

Published: May 2023

Library automation refers to the use of the computer to automate the typical procedures of libraries such as cataloging and circulation. It involves using computers and technology to streamline and improve library operations, replacing manual processes with computerized systems for increased efficiency and time-saving. The main purpose of library automation is to free the librarians and library staff and to allow them to contribute more meaningfully to the spread of knowledge and information. The exponential growth of information has made manual systems redundant necessitating the requirement of computerized information storage and retrieval. Effective and efficient handling of a huge quantum of information is only possible by using automation software, which has the added advantage of being highly accurate, and timely that adds value to information.

This initiative aims to assist libraries in supporting the revitalization of te reo M?ori, the language of the indigenous M?ori people in New Zealand. Also market players are collaborating and adopting different strategies to remain competitive. For instance, January 2020, Ex Libris, a company owned by ProQuest, has successfully acquired Innovative, a prominent provider of integrated library systems for various types of libraries. Following the acquisition, Innovative now operates as a business unit under Ex Libris. Ex Libris commits to supporting and advancing the solutions that Innovative's customers have been using. Additionally, Ex Libris intends to utilize its cloud technology to develop a cloud-based Polaris Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution specifically designed for public libraries.
