Microcomputers in the Library: A Health Sciences Library Case Study
Abstract
Several years ago, libraries began introducing microcomputers for patron use. Most such “experiments” resulted in problems with hardware, software and peripheral support, security, and supervision. Some staff members expressed reservations about the appropriateness of microcomputers (for patron use) in the library. However, virtually no library that introduced the service has discontinued it; rather, the service has grown in scope and importance. The experience of the Medical College of Georgia Library is an example of how farsighted institutions have introduced microcomputers and have experienced significant growth in related library programs.
