Dial access into online systems is briefly described, the considerations that go into the automation of a library's acquisition system are reviewed, acquisition problems at NCSC are discussed, NCSC staff expectations of the OCLC ACQS system are described, the advantages of dial access to ACQS are detailed, and recommendations for the improvement of dial access use of ACQS are made. The positive effects of the use of ACQS at NCSC are also discussed, as are the overall responses of the NCSC staff to ACQS. (Author/JL)
