| |
| Abstract: | Libraries have become dependent upon large bibliographic networks like OCLC, RLIN and WLN to support their technical service functions. These databases have become increasingly important to public service librarians as well. A comparison of these systems is presented with an emphasis upon features of particular interest to public service librarians. The composition of the databases, indexing and searching are discussed. Special features each system offers to support public services are detailed. Costs and available documentation are also presented. |
