| contents | Linking Automated Systems in North Bay Libraries. Bruman, Janet Academic Libraries Comparative Analysis Computer Software Higher Education Input Output Devices Interlibrary Loans Library Administration Library Automation Library Cooperation Library Expenditures Library Networks Library Planning Models Online Systems Public Libraries Telecommunications Union Catalogs This report addresses alternative means of interconnecting or providing access to the various automated systems within the 17-member North Bay Cooperative Library System (NBC), with emphasis on providing information on the availability of materials for loan, the principal objective of the NBC Telecommunications Project, Year Two. Advantages and problems of current circulation system databases are discussed, and a private network approach and a front-end translator approach are identified as two broad alternatives for solving NBC's telecommunication and access problems. Models for linking the existing automated systems in NBC via three private telecommunications networks (Doelz, Infotron, and DCA) and two front-end translators (IRVING and RTSS) are presented, and hardware, software and telephone configurations and costs are included for each model. A bibliography and a listing of projects and vendors identified as working on linkages between library automation systems are appended. (KM) |
