Planning an Integrated On-line Library System (IOLS)

Requirements for an Integrated On-line Library System (IOLS) to automate the acquisitions, cataloging and circulation functions of the Dudley Knox LIbrary of the Naval Postgraduate School were matched against the capabilities of commercial IOLSs available for purchase. NOTIS was the recommended choice. A cost analysis and implementation plan were developed for installing NOTIS on the Naval Postgraduate School's IBM mainframe computer.
