House keeping and Bank Office Operations On computer: other back
office operation to be computerised include the expenditure account
of the library and other managerial and maintenance functions.
The library is always flooded, with routine paper work.
Computer will help in the word processing system, payroll system and
management information system. This would save the time and improve
the quality of work.
Future plans are to create a network of these units through
computers which will provide a greater access to the resources and
avoid unnecessary duplication. The sharing of all combined resources
will offer greater advantage to the users and provide them prompt
and efficient services. At the same time this would make management
of manpower sitting at different work station quite effective.
Through this any library unit shall be able to call up library
catalogues and offer a wider choice to the users. After various
units of the Central State Library are linked effectively under the
networking plan,further steps would be to have networking with other
local libraries at Chandigarh. Many components of the future
scenario are already possible, yet much remains to be done
efficiently and in a cost effective manner.
The future plans of computerisation are to use scanning system in the
circulation section for issue and return of books and for physical
stock verification, In this direction bar codes have already been
prepared and introduced in the library. The whole process will
facilitates the activities of circulation section of save time
both of users and the staff.
