Microcomputer systems: what to look for and where to go for help*
Paul F. Burton · Health Libraries Review · 1987
This paper attempts to summarize the microcomputer hardware and software situation for libraries and information services. There is a wide choice of hardware available, capable of supporting both single, stand‐alone systems and networked services, and a growing range of software. Funding will continue to be a major influence on what can be achieved but within budgetary limits a great deal can be done to improve or extend services to users through the implementation of microcomputer systems.
