justification for automation

[Thomas Pitchford <thomas@PITCHFORD.ORG>]

My principal is negotiating for our school library to be automated!!!!

She needs a list of reasons to justify this move.  I could give her my own
list of 20 or so, but I would like to give her a list from ALA, an education
study, or another authoritative body.

My own quick attempts to find this have failed and I'm feeling the crunch of
pressure and time.  I also have two more classes to teach in about twenty minutes.


Can anyone send or direct me to this unicorn of info?

Many, many thanks,
