DOBIS CHOSEN BY OXFORD UNIVERSITY

The Pilot Project Over the past two years, the Libraries Board of the University of Oxford, England, has been conducting a Pilot Project for library automation in three faculty libraries, English, Modern Languages and Social Studies. The purpose of this project was to examine the benefits and problems of converting library procedures and facilities, such as the catalogue, to computerised methods, and to make a start on the large task of doing this for the rest of the University.
