Microcomputer-Based Local Automation Model: Functional Description

Abstract

The Microcomputer-based Local Automated Model (MicroLAM) project will demonstrate the integration of a local collection management system with access to remote bibliographic data bases. Through an intelligent gateway processor, users of the system will be able to access a local catalog and the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) Technical Reports (TR) data base simultaneously. The system will consist of a commercial software package (for local collection management) integrated with a subset of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Technology Information System (an intelligent gateway). The intelligent gateway permits sharing of bibliographic resources between the network of technical libraries and information centers within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the DoD technical information clearinghouse -- DTIC. Contained in this functional description are summary description, detailed characteristics and operating environment of the system, as well as the cost factors and development schedule of the LAM project.
