| contents | The Feasibility of Further Centralizing the Technical Processing Operations of the Public Libraries of New York City; a Survey Conducted for the Brooklyn Public Library, the New York Public Library and the Queens Borough Public Library. Book Catalogs Cataloging Feasibility Studies Library Acquisition Library Catalogs Library Cooperation Library Services Library Technical Processes Public Libraries This study, undertaken in the fall of 1965, had four basic objectives: (1) to determine the feasibility of centralizing the cataloging operation of the 3 library systems, (2) to determine the desirability of inter-system centralization of book preparation and acquisition, (3) to propose the operating procedures and mechanisms integral to any scheme for increased centralization appearing feasible and desirable, including computer-system design and data processing equipment if appropriate, and (4) to suggest where and how the recommended centralized facility should be organized. Major recommendations include a single cataloging and acquisition center for the 3 libraries, extensive use of computers for catalog production, output in the form of a tri-system "constant volume book catalog", and delay of consideration of whether to include other libraries in the system until the processing network is well established.
