MECHANIZATION OF LIBRARY PROCEDURES IN THE MEDIUMSIZED MEDICAL LIBRARY: 3. ACQUISITIONS AND CATALOGING.

A system is described for producing acquisitions and fiscal records, new book lists, and book catalogs of nonserial works from a single punched card input, manipulated by a computer under the control of programs written for the task. All parts of the system are now in operation except the production of the subject portion of the book catalog, for which the program is now (March 1965) being developed and which is expected to be in operation by summer.
