Abstrakt: A description is given of a project to introduce automation in the libraries of the National Institute for Cancer Research and the Clinical and Experimental Oncology Institute of the University of Genoa. The information retrieval software chosen to manage various library functions is detailed, particularly the book catalog. Use of this system led to new working methods for library staff and for the users. The users' interests in the new system has been evaluated by attendance of specific training courses and by the number of accesses to the online catalog. Preliminary results show that this interest exists, and that adequate information can improve the library user's approach to the automated catalog and make it a part of the user's routine work.
