Information Management Technology

This is a revised edition of "The Librarian's Guide to Microcomputers for Information Management", which aims to serve as an authoritative reference source to microcomputers and their applications to information management. Microcomputers have progressed rapidly since the last version of the book. The authors have revised and updated material throughout, and included many new developments. These include hypermedia and scanners, increased emphasis on MS DOS, CD-ROM and expanded coverage of LANs. New for this edition is a section on desk-top publishing. Assuming no specialist knowledge of the subject, the book explains microcomputer hardware and software in simple terms, including database management, information retrieval plus office systems and provides invaluable advice on the selection and operation of equipment and systems. This book should be of interest to undergraduate students of information management, librarians and information managers.
