The New England Library Information Network (NELINET) entered the pilot project stage late in 1967 when the University of New Hampshire became the first member of the network to be connected to the processing center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The five other New England state university libraries were ready to be connected at the time of this report. The report focuses on (1) the systems analysis and program planning for the project, and (2) the services available under the pilot operation. Section One is an introduction and summary. Section Two covers initial work with catalog date file searching. Section Three deals with acquisitions processing. Section Four is a demonstration of services carried out in connection with the pilot operation. Volume II (LI 000 980) contains appendices giving much of the technical detail of project activities.
