Integrating a CD‐ROM into an Inhouse Library System: Sirsi's Lasertap™

Abstract

Sirsi Corporation has developed a CD‐ROM interface for its integrated library system that provides access to MARC databases now available in that format. The MARC databases can be used in either an online or interactive mode. In the online mode, a host computer directly accesses the CD‐ROM via a microcomputer. In the interactive mode, a staff member selects records from the CD‐ROM and uploads them to a host computer.
