A Computer System for a Union Catalog: Theme and Variations *

AUTOR(ES)

Felter, Jacqueline W.

RESUMO

This article describes a computer system for the generation and maintenance of a union catalog of periodicals and for printouts of both the entire file and selected portions. Although the system was designed to meet the specifications of the Union Catalog of Medical Periodicals of New York, its use is not limited. Only the basic file maintenance program is indispensable; the subsidiary programs may be used as needed. The scope and content of the catalog are determined by the input. The preparation of the input is described in detail, with comment on the keypunching of library records. Applications to other kinds of catalogs are suggested.
