Namaskar Madam,
difference between Library Automation and Digitization of Library is as follows:

Library Automation: it includes doing routine jobs of Library with the help of computers (with lib automation software).
This Library Automation Software includes routine jobs of Library like Accessioning, cataloging, charging & Discharging etc.. Ultimately library Automation will be helpfull to both Library staff and Users.

Digitization of Library: it includes to digitize (scanned and stored in digital form in CDs, DVDs etc) the documents of ur Library's entire collection or a part of it. It will be cumbersome job to digitize the documents of ur library, but it will be better for future retrieval of information.

I think Automation is diff from Digitlisation
automation is about to enter the data of a book in a particular library software.
Digitlisation is about to scan a particular clip of any material and after that u can automate the data.
