User's Guide to Maintaining the Master Bibliographic File of the Integrated Library System (ILS).

摘要

The Integrated Library System (ILS) is a minicomputer-based system in which all automated library functions are processed against a single database. this manual details the protocols by which users of the ILS may create, edit and print tag and indicator fields within the Master Bibliographic File of the database. The Master Bibliographic File comprises the data structure of the cataloging copy for all records contained in the ILS. It serves as the 'template' against which all records are created and stored in machine readable form. This document expands the discussion of tag and indicator data manipulation contained in MTR-80W00074, A Guide to Using the Bibliographic Features of the Integrated Library System. (Author)
