Machine-Readable Information in the Library.
Kathy Isaacson · 1982
Information stored in machine-readable data files, such as statistics gathered by government agencies, research data gathered by scholars, and economic or business data, is un available to most library users because it can only be ac cessed through the use of a computer. This paper urges that libraries become involved in providing access to these files and describes how the Lawrence University Library developed a data collection and supportive services.
