- Iowa Library Information Teletype Exchange Regulations and Operational Techniques, A Manual for Library Administrators and TWX Operators. Stump, Ron, Ed. Guides Interlibrary Loans Library Automation Library Circulation Library Cooperation Library Networks Library Services Reference Services Telecommunications Telephone Communications Systems There has long been a need for closer communication among Iowa libraries, particularly among the ten regional centers developed under the Iowa State Plan of Library Development. A method of fast written communication among certain key libraries, formed into an operating system, would provide a means of developing all the libraries in the state that wished to cooperate with others in providing better service to their patrons. With the decision at the state level to begin statewide implementation of subject specialization, and the increasing need to develop a more efficient interlibrary loan system, it was apparent that some kind of modern communications system was called for. A decision was made by Miss Ernestine Grafton, State Librarian, in the fall of 1969 to begin a teletype network. In October of the same year, eleven libraries were interconnected on universal exchange of the Northwestern Bell Telephone TWX System. This manual is specifically designed to facilitate use of this system in participating libraries. (Author)
