Description

Title:The Minicomputer and the Computer Gap for Libraries
Author(s):Curley, Walter W.
Subject(s):Libraries --Automation
Minicomputers --Library applications
Abstract:Much has been written on the use of computers in libraries but until recently the promise has exceeded the performance. Colleges and universities, by virtue of equipment on campus and the fact that in many instances research-oriented faculties were present, made progress through the 1960s and even into the early 1970s. Public libraries found it considerably more difficult and their progress was mostly with tab card equipment in which they struggled with report-oriented systems. For decades transaction card circulation control systems using the punched card in one form or another have been used in a variety of libraries, both public and academic.
