Automated Alternatives to Card Catalogs:
The Current State of Planning and Implementation (p.277-298)
KENNETH JOHN BIERMAN
The results of a study carried out under the auspices of the Council
on Library Resources are described. The stated goal of this study was to
determine and analyze the current state of planning and implementation for
computer-generated replacements for the card catalog (book catalog, micro-image
catalog, on-line catalog) for large collections (250,000 titles or more)
and selected smaller libraries (less than 250,000 titles) that had actually
implemented an alternative form of catalog.
Computerized Serial Processing System at
the University of California, Berkeley (p.299-311)
STEPHEN M. SILBERSTEIN
The extreme flexibility of the MARC format coupled with the simplicity
of a batch-oriented processing system centered around a sequential master
file has enabled the University of California, Berkeley, library to gradually
build an unusually large serials data base in support of both technical
and public services. That file has been used successfully both as the basis
for an accounting system for serial expenditures and to provide increased
bibliographic access to the library's collection of serials.
COM Catalog Based on OCLC Records (p.312-321)
RICHARD W. MEYER AND JOHN F. KNAPP
The production of a COM catalog using OCLC records on magnetic tape is
outlined. Standards developed within the library community as represented
in the MARC format have made this catalog possible. A brief overview of
the procedures involved and of the catalog is presented.
A Computerized Bibliographic Service for
the Blind and Physically Handicapped (p.322-335)
MORTON H. FRIEDMAN
In 1897, as a special service to the blind, the Library of Congress established
a small reading room stocked with approximately 500 books and music items
in raised type. In 1974, a comprehensive internal study was begun by the
Library of Congress Division for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (DBPH)
in preparation for the automation of a library program that circulated approximately
12 million tapes, records, machines, and brailled books in that year. This
paper is a description of a three-year plan and a system study designed
to produce a computerized union catalog and an in-process file for both
DBPH and a network of almost 200 libraries throughout the nation.
