Automation developments of individual libraries are viewed as a mid-range plateau leading toward involvement in networks. The primary issues of machine-readable record formats, holdings formats mechanisms for updating machine-readable databases, and system interfaces for hardware, software, and operating systems need to be addressed if the local developments are to be a step toward the library's eventual networking capabilities. Libraries and the bibliographic networks are all progressing in their use of computer technology, but not necessarily toward a common goal. |
