Definig the Boundaries of an Italian Systems Librarianship: Library Managers and System Managers of an Automated Library System

Abstract

Systems librarianship has become a field of interest for professional literature from the late 1980s and until current days many authors have continued to investigate the roles, competencies and related issues of the systems librarians’ position within their organisation and library environments. This branch of literature has been reviewed by the researcher1 with the main purposes to cover the topic at an international level and define the limits of the debate.
