MICROCOMPUTER SOFTWARE PACKAGES: 

There are a number of possibilities for using microcomputers in libraries and centres. What the microcomputer can accomplish is limited by two main factors first one is the librarian's imaginative outlook and his perception regarding the potentialities of this gadget and the second one is the availability of suitable hardware and software. The point to be emphasised here is that the librarian need not be satisfied at the automation of mere library routines. He may try to examine and think of areas, where the application of microcomputer leads to improved performance.
