The successor to Planning for Automation, 2d ed. (1997), the manual provides librarians with information on installing or replacing an integrated system—one that computerizes multiple library functions using a single database. Covers preparing RFPs, evaluating vendor proposals, choosing and using application service providers, keeping up with changing standards, system migration and replacement, the logistics of barcoding and other tools, training staff and the public, and options for maintaining a collection. © Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
