Abstract
The University of Texas Southwesern Medical Center at Dallas Library has followed an evolutionary approach in its implementation of an integrated library system. In 1980 the library purchased the CLSI system and has implemented circulation, MARC-database maintenance, public access catalog, authority control, serials management, and the MedLine citation system. A sophisticated campus telecommunications network provides access to the library systems from faculty offices, labs, affiliated hospitals and other special facilities. Links with other library and university networks and the mounting of additional ancillary databases are planned for the near future. Other goals include interfacing the system with other campus databases using sophisticaed data manipulation techniques from the field of medical informatics.
