The twain shall meet: libraries meet academic computing centers
Daniel Ferrer, William L. Corya · 1990
Academic computing services provide computing for student instruction and faculty research. Recently, academic computing centers have taken on the task of providing On-line Public Access Catalogs for libraries. Besides serving a new audience, there has been a paradigm shift. The On-line Public Access Catalogs are indeed production systems and understanding this paradigm shift is crucial for a continuing dialogue between academic computing centers and information systems providers like libraries.
