(iii) Evaluating proposals and selecting a system.
(iv) Assessing needs and setting priorities.

  • A.(ii) (i) (iv) (iii)
  • B.(iii) (i) (iv) (ii)
  • C.(iii) (ii) (i) (iv)
  • D.(ii) (iv) (iii) (i)

Answer: D

The logical order is (ii) (iv) (iii) (i).

  1. Describe the existing library services and technology, so the starting point is known.
  2. Assess needs and set priorities, deciding what the new system must do.
  3. Evaluate proposals from vendors and select a system that meets those needs.
  4. Put the system into place: install, migrate data, train staff.

Planning has to move from the present situation to needs, then to choice, then to implementation. The other options put installing or evaluating a system before the library has assessed what it needs, which is the opposite of planning.
