contents A Position Paper on the Proposed Virginia Integrated Library Network. McCabe, Gerard B. And Others Academic Libraries Library Circulation Library Networks Online Systems Opinions Participation Planning In the spring of 1978, the Virginia State Library commissioned The Computer Company to conduct a feasibility study of the possibility of establishing a statewide library network for the Commonwealth of Virginia. In this report, the authors respond to that study by identifying three areas of concern for academic libraries: (1) the need for academic libraries in Virginia to acquire online circulation control systems--the development of a statewide circulation system; (2) the need to clarify the right and responsibility of academic libraries to participate in national networks--the establishment of a state policy for such participation; (3) the need for careful study and planning for the integrated library network proposed in the study--a recommendation to study, weigh, and debate the concepts and standards essential to such a network. Attached to the report is an outline on circulation control and data base utility. (Author)
