Computers and their technology revolutionized the world and the world of libraries as well. This article includes a brief history of this computer technology as it relates to the Internet. In addition, it offers a history of library automation concentrating on acquisitions. Both a traditional model of acquisitions and a new model using the Internet depict the workflow before and after the use of the Internet, respectively.
