Comparison of Computerised Loans Systems in the Federal Republic of Germany

This is a translation of a paper in the colloquium Automatisierung der Ausleihverbuchung: Erfahrungen und Perspektiven organised by the Arbeitsstelle für Bibliothekstechnik in Berlin on 26 and 27 January 1971. The compilation was made by analogy with the review of British computer‐based loans systems published in Program Vol. 3, p. 127–146. A review of the German language version of the colloquium is published on p. 000 of this issue.
