Description
The author reflects on some of the events and personalities which have had an impact on library automation in Australia. No attempt to take stock of developments in Australian librarianship during the course of Margaret Trask's long professional life could neglect this fundamental area. And of course, among those mentioned in the survey which follows are colleagues of Margaret's and others on whose professional lives she exerted a great influence by her example, by her teaching and by her approach to professional development, for example, in AIMA. She inspired them to take risks and to lead. MARGARET TRASK'S CAREER WITNESSED THE TRANSITION FROM THE CONVENTIONAL analogue library, which had only the most rudimentary form of mechanisation to the networked electronic library. In this transition we can identify at least five separate stages of technology development and adoption.
