<p class="p1">Description of a system, operational since June 1968, that provides control of all s<span class="s1">e</span>rials holdings in nine campus libraries, permits updating of the complete file every two or three days, and produces various outputs for library users and library staff from data in variable fields on disks (listings, statistics, etc.). The program, presently operating on an IBM 360/50 and utilizing an IBM 2314 disk<span class="s2">-</span>storage facility and three IBM 226 CRT terminals, is written in IBM System/360 Operating System Assembler Language and in PL/I; it could encompass a file of no more than 10 million records of variable length limited to 127/255 characters and subdivided in 25 or fewer fields<span class="s1">.</span></p>

<p class="p1">Simon Fraser University library began operation with an automated circulation system. After deliberation, it mounted the first phase of a two-phase <span class="s1">online </span>circulation <span class="s2">system. </span>A radically revised loan pol<span class="s3">·</span>icy <span class="s2">caused </span>the system design and assumptions to be called into question. A cheaper, simpler, and more effective off-line system eventually replaced the on-line system. The systems, fiscal, and administrative implications of this decision are reviewed.</p>

Spread Of Infection

During March 2020, all Swedish universities moved their teaching to an online environment due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Karlstad University Library in Sweden made a number of changes in order to reduce the spread of infection while at the same time maintaining a high level of library services to its users. Opening hours were drastically reduced. All study spaces were closed. Most of the staff were working from home. A new virtual reference desk via Zoom was launched to increase the library office hours. Since things happened fast, the internal staff training was done while at the same time providing the new reference service to the users. Some initial mistakes were made but in general, this ‘learn-as-you-go method’ worked surprisingly well.

<p><span>Viable on-line search systems require reasonable capabilities to automatically detect (and hopefully correct) variations between request format and stored format. </span><span>An </span><span>important requirement is the solution of the problem </span><span>of </span><span>matching proper names, not only because both input specifications and storage specifications are subject to error, </span><span>but </span><span>also because various transliteration schemes </span><span>exist </span><span>and can provide variant proper name forms in the same data base. This paper reviews several proper name matching </span><span>schemes </span><span>and provides an updated version of these schemes which tests out nicely on the proper name equivalence classes of a suburban telephone book. </span><span>An </span><span>appendix lists the corpus </span><span>of </span><span>names used for algorithm test.</span></p>
