Abstract :
Describes an online database management system (HP/TECHLIB) that has been designed and constructed using BASIS/TECHLIB. The system currently supports a full range of library functions, including cataloging, circulation, authority control, and retrieval activities. The selection process, database design, and enhancements to the software are also presented. In addition, technical problems encountered during the conversion of the VTLS (Virginia Tech Library System) data into HP/TECHLIB and lessons learned during implementation are provided
