Interlibrary loan management with microcomputers: a descriptive comparison of software.

Abstract

The use of microcomputers to manage interlibrary loan processing and record keeping is examined. Once the decision is made to automate, criteria for product evaluation needs to be established. Various software options are discussed which range from using dedicated interlibrary loan management software to the development of database management programs which require original template design. Descriptive profiles and sample input screens of a number of software packages are presented.
