Computerisation of the Rutherford Laboratory Catalogue Available to Purchase

The conversion of the Rutherford Laboratory Library catalogue to the computer is described. An existing program package, FAMULUS, already running on central laboratory computers, was used in preference to the purchase of a small computer system just for the library work. In addition to the two catalogue sequences, there is access to the KWIC index, which saves the effort needed to prepare a subject index to the specialised holdings.
