Abstract
The library implemented its circulation system, based on a Plessey light pen system Model 1A (SPC) and the university's Decsystem‐10 computer, in the summer of 1977. A hybrid system was developed where the library's off‐line package system captured the data onto magnetic tape and this was used to create disc files on the main frame computer, the files then being accessed on‐line in the library. The library's requirements and the system developed are described, and full costs of the project detailed.
