- CATCALL Shaw, Ralph R. Automation Books Library Acquisition Library Technical Processes Numbers Publishing Industry Purchasing A talk given at an ALA preconference on "New Dimensions in Acquisitions (Atlantic City, July, 1969). A plea is made for the U.S. publishing industry to speed up the adoption of Standard Book Numbers (SBN) to be assigned to all books in print as well as all books published in the future. Standardized customer numbers are also advocated, and possibilities for the automating of various book ordering processes are discussed. (JB)
