WELCOME!• A bit about me…
• A bit about you?
• A bit about the course!

General points• Keep it informal!• Feel free to
– interrupt– ask questions (PLEASE!)– contribute your thoughts and experiences
• Remember you should learn from each other as well as from me!
• If you don’t understand, don’t be shy, speak up!• Format: generally, two sessions with substantial
“talk break” in between (and at end if time left)• For LIS, read ANY kind of information service

“The force behind the effective functioning of any organisation is a system”
(Layzell & Loucopoulos)

What is a system?
• A collection of inter-related parts
• which act as a whole
• towards a common goal
![Page 12: DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION STUDIES Andy Dawson LIS1510 Library and Archives Automation Issues Andy Dawson Department of Information Studies, UCL Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5515dbf7550346d46f8b4ac4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION STUDIES
Andy Dawson
Systems within systems
• Parts of systems can themselves be seen as systems
• Systems are everywhere!
• Systems can be seen, organised, and described in different ways
![Page 15: DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION STUDIES Andy Dawson LIS1510 Library and Archives Automation Issues Andy Dawson Department of Information Studies, UCL Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5515dbf7550346d46f8b4ac4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION STUDIES
Andy Dawson
System properties
• Open systems– An open system interacts with the outside world– It must be capable of adaptation in order to react to
and accomodate changes in its environment
• Synergy– The working together of elements towards a
common goal/benefit– Whole greater than the sum of the parts
![Page 16: DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION STUDIES Andy Dawson LIS1510 Library and Archives Automation Issues Andy Dawson Department of Information Studies, UCL Department.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062417/5515dbf7550346d46f8b4ac4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Remember...
• A system is a tool, not an end
• A system is not isolated
• A system must be seen in context, as part of a larger system
• Systems analysis should transform, not just translate

The development of IT in LIS – the 60s• Early 60s:
– Keywords for Chemical Abstracts at IBM– Lockheed catalogue cards by computer
• Mid 60s:– First cataloguing co-operative (BCGS)– Development of MARC cataloguing– Many “failed” computerised library systems
• Late 60s:– Moves to standardisation, ISBN

Planning• Why is it important?
– Efficiency & control– Success/failure– Nature of systems:
• Mission-critical• High-impact• High profile• High cost?
• Also important for small-scale projects

Value of planning
• Puts you in control
• Helps to identify needs and proper solutions
• Importance of formality
• Systems should do what you want not vice versa
• Planning is not just for the “new” system– Impact of change– Expectation management
