The Polytechnic of Central London has developed and installed a wide area network connecting libraries on six sites. The network is linked to SWALCAP for circulation control, and cataloguing services will be added in 1984. Two local area network (LAN) projects are planned. An analysis of the telecommunications options considered is presented, with costs for the system adopted for the wide area network.
