Abstract
Before discussing circulation, some background on the situation at Northwestern
University might be in order. In the first half of 1967, a detailed
study of all the library's operations was made because it was obvious that
some changes were necessary. Over the years, many procedures had degenerated
and were now being done primarily because they had been done that
way before. The results of the study indicated that a new approach was
needed; a completely integrated system should be developed and maintained.
It was further apparent that only a system that was efficient and responsive
would have substantial impact on the library's operations. Only one direction
appeared to provide a possible solution an on-line, real-time system.
