STATUS software: application and experience at the Transport and Road Research Laboratory

Abstract

The paper describes the use of STATUS by TRRL's Technical Information and Library Services to mechanize the library's document ordering, cataloguing, loans control and to integrate these functions with a cooperatively‐acquired international database of abstracts — all in a single document record. Modifications made to standard STATUS to meet TRRL's needs are described and the good and bad features of STATUS as found in practice are outlined.
