The following information is published in a flyer circulated by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The book describes the strategy, planning, resources and activities needed to integrate LIMS and its supporting technologies into an organization. It covers all aspects of implementation and management and has the benefit of not being product specific. This book will not date as it is not restricted to a particular software product, hardware platform, or technical automation approach. Instead it deals with the issues, expertise, organization and resources that contribute to the successful implementation of a LIMS.

The author has wide experience with automated laboratory systems in the chemical, pharmaceutical, environmental and biotechnology industries, and for the past 15 years has been intimately involved in every aspect of LIMS implementation, including justification, system selection, installation, project management, developing, training, validation, performance optimization and maintenance.

The book contains numerous illustrations and tables to highlight concisely the major points and concepts discussed in each chapter. The book is essential reading for laboratory, information systems and project managers responsible for the implementation of LIMS and, as it does not require any previous knowledge of computers or laboratory information management systems, is easily accessible to all.
