Towards an electronic information service

Abstract

Advances in information technology have made it economically feasible to automate small information services and libraries. From single applications interest is shifting to the integrated support of various functions. The main focus at the technical level is on workstations for information professionals and on the communications tools needed such as local area networks (LANs), and interfaces to various external systems. Application software packages are needed for this integration.
