- Subject: Materials cataloging software for UN*X
-
- I am looking for cataloging software that will run under Ultrix or SunOS.
- It will be used to track a relatively small set of manuals, periodicals,
- technical references, etc. for approx. 50-100 users. Check-in and check-out
- are about the only requirements. Does not have to use MARC format. Our
- budget is about $500 US.
-
- Thanks.

- Subject: cd-rom in self-service
- Laval University is a french language university with an enrollment of
- approximately 37,000 students. The Arts and Humanities Library has a
- collection of over 20 cd-rom titles that were consulted by more than 5000
- users last year.
-
- We are thinking of installing a self-service, self-reservation system.
- Presently, the service is controlled by the circulation desk. Under the new
- system, the user would be responsible for scheduling a time period for
- searching on his chosen database. At the scheduled time, he would retrieve the
- appropriate disc or discs from a cabinet and use them on one of the
- workstations. There would be no staff control over either the scheduling, the
- loan of the cd-roms or the use of the workstations.
-
- Before proceeding, we would like to know whether any other library has
- installed a similar system and whether there has been any problems arising
- such as: lost or damage of disc or workstation, conflicts between patrons or
- any other problem.
-
- Please respond to me directly.
