  • Title: BACS: evolution of an integrated library system toward information management.
    Author: Kelly EA, Halbrook B, Igielnik S, Rueby C.
    Journal: Bull Med Libr Assoc; 1985 Jan; 73(1):9-14. PubMed ID: 3978300.
    Abstract:
    The evolution of the Washington University School of Medicine BACS integrated library system toward information management functions is outlined. The creation of a machine-readable database and its extension through telecommunications have consequences that reach beyond the functions of the library as we have perceived them. It is argued that libraries are flexible institutions that, with automation, are likely to enlarge rather than to diminish.
