MECHANIZATION STUDY OF THE AIR FORCE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY LIBRARY, WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, OHIO

Abstract

The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) Library uses an IBM 1401 computer to produce a list of journal holdings, alphabetically arranged and provided with an abbreviation glossary. One list was produced and circulated. Input to the system is EAM cards with journal data. Because of difficulties in obtaining use of the computer--which is not owned by the Library--within a reasonable time, the Library has decided to abandon computer mechanization and to use instead Library--owned Flexowriter equipments interfaced with supplemental EAM card punch, sorter, and reader.
