This clinic program announces that I intend to address the human factors
involved in library automation in academic libraries. It is tempting to
begin this talk by discussing the impact of technology upon academic
library staff with a lead into the competencies that idea assumes. If I began
in that way, I might begin with certain assumptions. Some of the assumptions
held by many attending this conference might include:
1. that the application of technology in libraries will result in benefits to
staff and users;
2. that technology is the inevitable wave of the future; and
3. that as librarians, if we do not embrace technology, we will be left to fade
into oblivion in our museums full of books.
