This report on an IBM-assisted Application Transfer Team study by Clemson University Library to develop planning for and design of an integrated library automation system concentrates on the design of a serials subsystem. Data gathered from students, faculty, and library staff members through the structured interview technique focused on interfaces between units, on problems, on volumes and cycles of activity, and on discernable improvements and benefits. The report describes the current library system environment, the objectives of the proposed system, the system itself, implementation considerations, and a plan of action. Recommendations and a cost-benefit analysis are provided. (FM)
