LITC

LITC is a familiar organisation to almost anybody in the UK library sector. It was originally known as the Library Information Technology Centre. It was founded in 1982 by the DTI and the British Library to help libraries choose computerised library house keeping systems. The twenty years since then has seen an astonishing change to the business in which we work; information technology, especially the Internet has changed every aspect of the way information services operate. The library management system has become but one component in the effective delivery of modern libraries, albeit it continues to be a major component.
