ACOMPLIS: a computerised London information service

I hope that some of you may already be familiar with the name ACOMPLIS. This bibliographic database of urban information was established in 1973 by the GLC Research Library, which was at that time part of the Intelligence Unit of the Department of Planning and Transportation in the Greater London Council. Seven years later we are about to move into a new era as the system becomes available as an online information retrieval service.
