Follows on from an earlier article (Business Information Review, 16 (4) 1999, pp. 197–202), which described the process used by the Economist Intelligence Unit when choosing a new library management system (LMS) to replace their existing, non-Year 2000 compliant (Y2K) system. Focuses on the issues involved in implementing a new system in terms of project management. Sets out the basic principles of project management, noting that some of the most frequent risks are: failure to finish the project on time; budget overspending; and lack of experience by either the project manager or by members of the project team. Considers the practical details of setting up a project team and sorting out who is going to coordinate the project and presents a number of clearly defined steps to ensure its success. © 2000, Sage Publications.
