CD‐ROM networking on OPTI‐NET: the South Bank Polytechnic Library network

Abstract

History of the project South Bank Polytechnic Library has been networking CD‐ROM databases since the summer of 1990. John Akeroyd, Head of Library Services at South Bank Polytechnic, initiated the CD‐ROM networking project at the London Road library, the main library within South Bank Polytechnic, after carrying out a British Library research project and visiting the USA where CD‐ROM networking was successfully established in libraries there. He was particularly impressed with the OPTI‐NET software that many libraries were using.
