automated library means 

when housekeeping works done by computer system, called automated library. 

Library  automation  may  be  defined  as  the  application  of  computers  to  perform

traditional  library  house  keeping  activities  such  as  acquisition,  circulation,

cataloguing, and reference and serials control.

Automation is used to reduce the amount of staff time devoted to repetitive (and often

less challenging) activities that must be done in any properly functioning library. It is

to be remember that, various library operations are automated, not the library as such.

Library Automation is the general term for information and communications technologies (ICT) that are used to replace manual systems in the library.
