SANJAY: an Indian library automation package based on CDS/ISIS

Abstract

A library automation software package (SANJAY) has been developed in the CDS/ISIS V2.3 environment extensively using the Pascal interface to meet the requirements of a model library. Using SANJAY a user can get instant access to information, responses to queries and reports from multiple databases. It is an interactive, menu driven, and user‐friendly package which carries out routine functions of a library. The software is capable of inter‐relating two or more databases for a single application like acquisition or circulation. This paper identifies some of the problems in the CDS/ISIS V2.3 package and presents the features of the SANJAY package that overcome these problems and discusses its implementation in a government library.
