Abstract

While the eighties were years of much research into automated library housekeeping systems they were years of consolidation rather than innovation. The early ‘online’ circulation systems came of age with the addition of other basic modules such as MARC cataloguing and acquisitions. The degree of integration of many of these systems in the early part of the decade ranged from the ridiculous to the not so ridiculous, with sublime not even appearing in the system supplier's dictionary.
