Examines the notion of using the CAT CD450 system in retrospective conversion and the research carried out by the Indiana Cooperative Library Services Authority to determine whether this would be of use to a research library. Presents the findings of the research in terms of time, language, etc. Concludes that the CAT CD450 database may have substantial versatility and that further examination is justified.
