THE USE OF ONLINE AND CDROM DATABASES IN SPANISH UNIVERSITY CENTRALISED BIBLIOGRAPHIC SERVICES

Abstract

Up until the late eighties, there were few information systems in Spanish universities that offered the user online access to databases. Reasons for this were the high cost of the telecommunications and the lack of a sufficiently developed infrastructure. In some cases, the personnel in charge of these systems and, above all, potential users were not acquainted with the services of companies like Red INCA, about which more will be mentioned later.
