- Network Library Information System
-
- Georgetown University is designing a Learning Resource Center
- (LRC), part of which may consist of a system to enable computer query
- (hopefully on-line) of G.U.'s Library holdings. The ARPA community
- might be of assistance in either of two ways:
-
- 1. One or more organizations may have a Library Retrieval
- System that they would like to share with Georgetown.
-
- 2. Since there probably are needs for such a system at most
- organizations, and since it would be highly beneficial
- for one organization to be able to query other library
- holdings as well, and subsequently arrange for inter-
- library loans, the ARPA community might undertake to
- design a Network Library Information System.
-
- If sufficient interest in such a system exists, a working group
- could be set up to establish the necessary protocols and iron out
- details of the system.
-
- It is probable that the NIC could provide valuable inputs to such
- an undertaking and perhaps would serve as a focal point for the system
- design and operation.
-
- Please contact me if either:
-
- 1. You have, or know of a Library Retrieval System that
- can be shared with Georgetown University,
-
- 2. Your organization is interested in participating in a
- Network Library Retrieval System, or
-
- 3. You are interested in participating in designing such a
- system.
