The ALS online integrated library system at Rotterdam

Abstract

This paper covers the ALS (Automated Library Systems Ltd) system used at Rotterdam City Library in the Netherlands. The requirements for the circulation and cataloguing systems are given and then the ways these have been realised using ALS equipment and software are described. This new ALS system is an extension of previous systems as it includes cataloguing modules and an enhanced record structure. The use of ALS's touch terminal, known as the Browser, at Rotterdam, is also described.
