(1991)
Abstract
Academic libraries in Master and Doctorate granting institutions were studied to identify current use and future implementation of E-Mail, FAX, Optical Technology, OPAC, and Microcomputers. Private and state institutions were surveyed via telephone or site visits. Library Directors, Key Staff members, and Automation Librarians' opinions on the potential and the barriers of new information technology for Puerto Rico were gathered. These are discussed within the Puerto Rican context.
