System Design of a Computer Based Library Circulation System for the Radiology File Room

Abstract

The operation and configuration of a reliable and inexpensive computer based system for locating X-ray film jackets are proposed. Card-dialer Touch-Tone telephones are used to accurately inform the computer of loans, to reserve film jackets, and to inquire about their locations. Computerassisted identification and recall of overdue and reserved film jackets increases their availability and the efficiency of file room personnel.
