Dolphin Library System

This article is intended to complement the description of the Dolphin Library System which appears in the Guide to Library Systems for Schools published by the Library & Information Technology Centre in 1988. Since the Guide was published Dolphin's system has changed a great deal, much extra functionality having been added. In addition, a more subjective view is offered of the facilities available and their ease of use. Experience of the system was gained by the author firstly having cataloguing, enquiry and circulation control demonstrated by Dolphin, then spending a day using those modules and finally having a brief demonstration of the acquisitions module.
