This report describes the system design of a regional computer center for the libraries of New England State Universities. The function of this center is to provide library technical processing service to the participating libraries. These services will include: (1) catalog data file creation and maintenance, (2) catalog data file search and…

A union catalog of 1,100,000 books on computer output microfiche (COM) in twenty-one Louisiana libraries is described. The computer programs, the data bank, and output are described. Also described are the statistical tabulations which are a by-product of the system and which provide a rich source for analysis. (8 references) (Author)

The seventh annual Interuniversity Communications (EDUCOM) Council Meeting and Conference was designed as a forum at which some of the successful applications of computing to higher education could be examined and discussed. Particular attention was given to those applications which seemed to have wide applicability, and to those which might be…

This final report covers January, 1967 through September 15, 1967, the period of Task One of the New England Library Information Network (NELINET). The primary objective of Task One was to set up procedures and programs to build a catalog data file for the center. The secondary task was to set up procedures to selectively extract bibliographic…

The purpose of the Ohio College Library Center (OCLC) computerized regional library system is to provide an on-line system that makes available to faculty and students in individual colleges and universities the library resources throughout a region, while at the same time decelerating the rate of rise of per-student library costs.
