Attempts to automate libraries encounter the same kind of difficulties
as do attempts to automate other aspects of our lives; while some of these
difficulties are soluble, others must be deemed failures. A failure by its very
nature tends to be spectacular, but its prevention seems dull in comparison.
Remedial action, usually drastic and appearing to the bewildered onlooker as a
form of witchcraft, provides a bigger show; nevertheless, the focal point of
this paper is the less spectacular one of preventing failure in library automation.
