Gaylord Information Systems: Poised for its Second Century

In February 1989, Digital's VAX‐Station 3100 inaugurated a line of desktop mini‐computers that compete in price with high‐end personal computers. Gaylord's GALAXY Integrated Library System was installed on that platform at the Appomattox Regional Library in Hopewell, Virginia, in August 1989. Since then, GALAXY has been installed at over 140 libraries of varying sizes and types throughout the United States. Additional modules have been continuously added every six to twelve months: acquisitions, serials control, SuperNET networking modules, Datatrieve + easy report generator, and the new GALAXY Scheduler. Additional modules and enhancements continue to be developed at Gaylord as the company continues to invest heavily in new product research and development to meet the ever‐increasing demands of its rapidly growing customer base.
