Summary
Personnel of an automation project is discussed in terms of talents needed in the design team, their qualifications and organization, the attitudes to be fostered, and the communication and documentation that is important for effective teamwork. Discussion is based on Stanford University's experience with Protect BALLOTS and includes comments on some specific problems which have personnel importance and may be faced in major design efforts. The following observations are based upon experience at Stanford University over the past eight years in applying data processing to libraries, and in the large scale on-line experience of Project BALLOTS (an acronym standing for Bibliographic Automation of Large Library Operations using a Time Sharing System) supported by the U. Of the paper treats of five key personnel aspects: the automation team, thetr qualifications, their organization, the climate for effort, and documentation The first par! of the paper treats of five key personnel aspects: the automation team, thetr qualifications, their organization, the climate for effort, and documentation
