Library systems at RISC: a case study. (reduced instruction set computer)

From: Computers in Libraries | Date: October 1, 1991| Author: | Copyright information

Algoma University College Library is a small academic library that has been partially automated since 1984. An IBM AT has been used as a file server on a local area network with a multiuser, multitasking operating system. However, due to both hardware and software constraints, and limited library resources, the system was not been fully integrated.

In mid-1989, our library system vendor proclaimed that its latest version was a powerful, flexible, easy-to-use, full-featured, integrated program ideal for streamlining management tasks. It offered complete control over the ...
