| Abstract: | This paper discusses how one library school, the Faculty of Library Science at the University of Toronto, uses a minicomputer. The pleasures and problems we have experienced with our mini relate to the environment of the school and its educational objectives. They are not necessarily generalizable, but they may provide some insights into the potential of minicomputers. At the outset we should emphasize the newness of our system. We are feeling our way; undoubtedly we are making some mistakes, but we are learning a great deal in the process and are very optimistic about the future. We hope to demonstrate the potential of minicomputers for library education in a way that will be useful for anyone considering a mechanized support system and concerned about the expense and commitment of a large-scale operation. |
