Abstract
The manual loans system previously in use at Loughborough is described and the reasons behind automation are examined. In looking at the requirements of an automated system a trapping store is found to be essential to maintain the standard of reader service if an off‐line system is to be used. The Plessey Library Pen equipment is described, followed by details of the programs making up the new system. There is an account of the change‐over period from the old to the new system and the manual processes involved in working the system are explained.
