Computer Assisted Circulation Control at Health Sciences Library SUNYAB

Abstract

A description of the circulation system which the Health Sciences Library at the State University of New York at Buffalo has been using since October 1970. Features of the system include automatic production of overdue, fine, and billing notices; notices for call-in of requested books; and book availability notices. Remote operation and processing on the IBM 360/40 and CDC 6400 computer are accomplished via the Administrative Terminal System (ATS) and Terminal job Entry (T]E). The system provides information for management of the collection and improved service to the user.
