through our study, we intend to identify the main criteria for
the selection of documentry software that should be at the disposal of
librarians when choosing one of these software for the management of
theire library. This project is, in fact, based on a survey led upon
Badji-Mokhtar University libraries taken as a model.
We have first defined the cosept of documentry softwar with all
the elements that are related to it such as program, document, databasis...Then, we have specified the basic criteria for setting up
documentry softwar in terms of financial, material and human
resources, program, data...with a broad view on the most important
evoling steps crossed by this technique since the emergence of the
idea of information automated processing till the appearance of
artificial intelligence. A fter that. We have discussed about library
automation methods through the conception of a local documentry
software or the direct acquisition of the software, if not to rely just on
the connection of the library to information structures by means of
peripherals. The fourth chapter highlights basically the specification
of the main criteria in relation with the selection of the efficient
software. The fifth and last chapter portrays the practical study with its
five axes including the results of the survey and their anaylsis, in
addition to the general result attained in relation with the hypotheses
that were confirmed, but with a disparity between the percentages.
Thus, we have realized that librarians have the aptitude to specify the
major criteria for the selection of efficient software. All that they need
in this situation is the provision of a sufficient variety of software at
their disposal so that they can choose what is appropriate for them.
