The Integrated Library System (ILS): System Overview.

Abstract

The Integrated Library System (ILS) is a minicomputer-based system in which all automated library functions are processed against a single master bibliographic file. This report describes the functions which the system supports and outlines the system design from a technical viewpoint. ILS consists of five major subsystems: -Bibliographic control (to load and edit MARC-format records), -Catalog access (an online public catalog), -Circulation (to track item location and status), -Serials control (to check in serial issues), and -Administrative (to produce management reports and set system parameters). The ILS software will run on any of three types of minicomputer equipment: Data General Eclipse series, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), PDP-11 series (11/23 to 11/70), or IBM series 1. (Author)
