Hello, I am looking for a document that spells out, preferably very explicitly, that a 'modern quality library service' would include a library management system. I can spell out the benefits and risks of having/not having one but it would be really useful to have some backup papers from an official source describing good industry practice. I think most of us are so used to using a LMS, and perhaps having to choose a new one (and it's hard to imagine a library without one), but I am hoping to put together a justification for having one at all. Does anyone know of any descriptions of what modern libraries are expected to provide in terms of such facilities. Thanks, Jo -- *Jo Saxby* College Librarian
