4-3. Automated information services:

The economy of Sudan has so seriously declined that it is unable to provide basic teaching and research facilities in its tertiary institutions and research institutes. To provide its users access to the best of teaching and research materials available in the world, timely, and at least cost, Sudanese libraries must automate their services and form networks. Most of the problems associated with acquisitions and collection management in general would be over for Sudanese libraries once they are on the web.
