Abstract

This paper describes the automation of the retrieval of online orders for the CAS Document Delivery Service. By shifting from a process using stand‐alone terminal to a process linked to a Unix network, we were able to improve the productivity of the staff responsible for operating the service and the speed with which electronic orders were dispatched. A similar shift could be used by other companies to capture online information from external sources.
