This requires testing and evaluation of databases after installation, in order to communicate the correct procedures to the Information staff, as the systems librarian acts as a mediator between library staff, end users and vendors when problems with products arise. Speedy action is necessary when 'demo' CD-ROMs arrive as they are usually on trial for a limited period. When the CD-ROM technology was introduced in the early 1980's, the Ferdinand Postma Library was one of the first libraries in South Africa to purchase a CD-ROM drive to utilize our first CD-ROM. A lot has been said about the decisions, financial impact and ongoing services etc. caused by the implementation of CD-ROM technology, but scant reference is made about the continuing maintenance and responsibilities to be taken after the implementation of the CD-ROM technology. At present we have quite extensive CD-ROM collection with multiple CD's connected to the Network, as well as a few single unit CD-ROM drives.
To fulfill their duties and services all departments of the electronic library experience a growing dependency on the information technology systems and thus also the systems librarian.

This type of information is recorded in a database for easy problem solving. The day to day management of the CD-ROMs requires the installation of new products and search & retrieval software, the performance of the installed CD-ROM on different workstations and the changing and updating of menus. Sometimes when new products are installed the systems librarian needs to train the Information staff how to use these products.
Terms and Conditions
The OPAC and Index to South African periodicals is listed on the main menu as well as on every sub-menu. Without a working knowledge of all the modules implemented, it is impossible for library staff to use the system effectively. Since questions, problems and proposals are cropping up daily, it is essential that the systems librarian acts as a mediator between library staff and the supplier of hardware, software, and system. These Terms of Service apply to all users of the site, including without limitation users who are browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and/ or contributors of content.

If the systems librarian installs the CD-ROM software, s/he must be familiar with the working of DOS, Windows, the campus' networking system, and all other new search and retrieval software that might be applicable. I am not going to discuss the advantages or disadvantages of networking CD-ROMs, nor the confusion around the licensing of CD-ROMs , but rather the action taken when a CD-ROM arrives on the systems librarian's desk. With the CD-ROM comes the installation instructions, license agreement and manuals. Occasionally there may be information on our site or in the Service that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies or omissions that may relate to product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, product shipping charges, transit times and availability.
On our campus, problems with workstations and the overall working of programs can be reported to an in-house INMAGICdatabase on mistakes . The systems librarian checks these messages regularly and responds to them accordingly. We have workstations equipped with a variety of products -- from 286 AT's to Pentiums, laser to dot-matrix printers, and many other peripherals. Although ITM is responsible for the hardware maintenance, it is essential for a systems librarian to be able to edit system configuration, change the SETUP of a PC, or replace a printer when needed. As to the administration of CD-ROMs, it is necessary to have a good management system.

From here it is the systems librarians responsibility to make these electronic databases available. It is a good habit to keep track of all the CD-ROM titles, hardware and software requirements as well as the license agreements. With this goes passwords, product numbers needed for installation, frequency etc. A good example is, for instance, BookFind CD-ROM, published monthly, which requires the network update passwordwith every update, as shown in Figure 5.
As more and more programs require Windows, there is growing demand for the systems librarian's time. In addition, the systems librarian plays major role in recommending the buying or replacing of workstations. Due to the ever changing environment, long range planning is necessary, though difficult. I keep track of all these databases and take care of written procedures to ensure continuity and accuracy.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
