An Overview of Library Automation

Abstract:

This paper describes an overview regarding library automation and present possibilities to handle books using robots in the context of library activities. In this context, library automation is referring to hardware and software systems that are implemented in the library process activities in order to automate book handling applications. Some similar developments are presented. Also, two CAD models of the proposed book manipulator using linear drives are presented.
