Computer based cataloguing at Loughborough University of Technology 1968–1982: a review

Abstract

The development and application of the MINICS machine‐readable record is reviewed from its conception in the late 1960s to its present status as the basis of monographs cataloguing at Loughborough University of Technology. The underlying principles of MINICS are described and subsequent attempts to incorporate these principles in a working system are summarized. Reference is made to associated developments such as the introduction of microfiche catalogues and retrospective conversion of the card catalogue.
