This involved thorough stock revision, retro conversion of the
catalogue, and introduction of an integrated automated library management systems. Two possible approaches to conversion were
identified viz. use of previously compiled accession list of materials available in the manual system; and entering the bibliography details into computer. Some of the important issues are discussed in this paper.
