- California State Library: Processing Center Design and Specifications. Volume I, System Description and Input Processing. Sherman, Don Shoffner, Ralph M. Automation Book Catalogs Cataloging Centralization Computer Programs Information Processing Input Output Library Networks Library Technical Processes Serials Systems Development The scope of the California State Library-Processing Center (CSL-PC) project is to develop the design and specifications for a computerized technical processing center to provide services to a network of participating California libraries. Immediate objectives are: (1) retrospective conversion of card catalogs to a machine-form data base, compatible with MARC II; (2) continuing conversion of current cataloging to machine-form data base, compatible with MARC II; (3) incorporation of MARC tapes, distributed by the Library of Congress, into the Center's data base for use in cataloging support; (4) production of book form catalogs; and (5) control of technical processing associated with serials, including ordering, check-in, claiming, binding, accounting and holding lists. Following a definition of the scope of the project, future developments are discussed in a survey of plans and accomplishments of other cognate projects in the area of cooperative library networks. This report also includes: (1) the system description, an overview of system files and system logic for all operating functions; (2) a discussion of production and control, which focuses on the problem and recommended procedures of production and control of source documents during the conversion process; and (3) the conversion program.
