Nowadays most of the libraries have started or already have completed the process of computerization of their house keeping operations like, Acquisition, Cataloguing, Circulation, Serial Control, OPAC, etc. This article is a case
They want to reduce the number of librarians to save cost, and keep just a few librarians to help with more important tasks such as help customers with sophisticated searches, and answer academic questions. According to Paul Cope, Libraries wanted to change, but they did not like to change much. For example, they opposed the feature of allowing patrons to develop a list of books they had read and the authors they would like to read because they did not want to deal with the legal of a third party
An automated library is one where a computer system is used to manage one or several of the library's key functions such as acquisitions, serials control, cataloging, circulation and the public access catalog. When exploring the history of library automation, it is possible to return to past centuries when visionaries well before the computer age created devices to assist with their book lending systems. Even as far back as 1588, the invention of the French 'Book Wheel' allowed scholars to

video surveillance is very advantageous for the federal government of the United States because it can help detect possible terrorist attacks. Automated manufacturing is another application of automation and by far, it is the most important and useful in the United States. This practice of automation is used to produced things in a factory way. Consequently, many of the products that consumers purchase are the result of automated manufacturing. Some of these products include automobiles, refrigerators
