Multipurpose technical services workstations: Access to NOTIS/OCLC/GTO with a single microcomputer

Microcomputer and network systems have been implemented to support multi‐purpose technical services workstations at Vanderbilt University. Although the equipment and procedures described are specific to NOTIS libraries that catalog with OCLC, the general approach can also serve as a model that can be applied to other library management systems and bibliographic utilities. The workstations reduce equipment costs, save desktop space, improve work flow efficiency, and facilitate access to OCLC while reducing connection costs.
