"Until recently, those who worked with computers were commonly thought
of as having special knowledge or technical background not commonly
known to others. In libraries the computers were likely to be managed by
data processing staff only. Today, the idea of a single group ""in the know""
/ about computers is being replaced by the expectation that most of the staff
in libraries and information centers will deal with computers in some form
Las a regular part of their work.
Advances in library automation are coming so quickly that administrators
find that they are not able to wait for a new generation of staff
trained in computer use or for the gradual spread of home computers to
familiarize current staff with computers. The reality is that librarians and
information specialists in the work force today will have to be trained to
use computers on the job."
