Abstract
When considering adapting the computer to library use, there appear to be four general areas where usage would be most practical. The first area might be labeled "library housekeeping operations," which would include the ordering and receiving of monographs and serials,
circulation control of library items and preparation of catalogs and listings of many kinds. The second area would consist of cataloging and allied content analysis operations designed to assign to each item subject identifiers, as well as call number or related classification information. The third area would be composed of storage and retrieval operations, which make it possible for the user to obtain access to the
desired informational items in response to appropriate requests. The final area would comprise collection control operations designed to insure an orderly collection development through additions and deletions
of materials and file changes when necessary.2
