ADLIB—its use by the Greater London Council Research Library

The ADLIB (Adaptive Library Management System) package was installed by the GLC Research Library in 1982. It is used for ordering and cataloguing stock as well as for controlling its circulation. ADLIB is also used at the GLC for producing a daily current awareness bulletin and a weekly technical information bulletin. This paper describes the development and current applications of ADLIB at the GLC and its interface with other packages used by the GLC, such as ASSASSIN and STAIRS.
