Abstract

Background to COPOST COPOST is an electronic mail system based on the Telecom GOLD service which links the libraries of United Kingom Polytechnics and Universities. The system was inaugurated in January 1986 following discussions at the COPOL (Council of Polytechnic Librarians) Information Technology Group and the organisation's executive. Initially, only Polytechnic libraries could join. The system grew rapidly to its present Polytechnic membership of 26 with two others accessing COPOST via the general Telecom GOLD system.
