Abstract

This article has been written on the basis of the information provided by 30 academic libraries of Buenos Aires and surroundings. The principal intention is to reveal some particular aspects in the coordination of automation plans in information units and the concrete results of their implementation from the analysis of the general trends observed. This study is focused on fundamental outlines of software selection criteria and the importance granted to the different functions to be automated. Thus, the first signs of underlying problems in the automation process of the studied academic libraries are presented. This article also reports the strong influence of prime factors on the process of local and regional library integration
