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.
