    Abstract
    A CD-LAN is not necessarily the best solution for a library and will not access every electronic publication which a library may want. An alternative for providing concurrent access is to mount journal citation files on a local library system. This involves loading tapes of periodical indexes or other publications onto the local library system and offering access to them through the OPAC. Discusses journal citation modules; online enhancement; the hybrid electronic publications strategy; costs of online database services, standalone CD-ROM, CD-LAN and journal citation modules. Offers a comparative cost analysis via case studies of ABI Inform, Applied Science and Technology Index, Biological Abstracts; INSPEC, Math-Sci, NTIS, and Science Citation Index for each of the options online and by CD-ROM, CD-ROM LAN and a journal citation module on a local library system

    Abstract
    Defines client/server computer architecture and discusses it in the context of library automation. Addresses the following issues: is client/server needed?; the role of the Z39.50 standard; utilizing existing hardware and software; writing specifications; staff requirements; training; and ongoing support. Presents the responses of 30 library automation vendors in the USA to a questionnaire survey regarding present and future applications of client/server technology. Includes a bibliography of materials used in the preparation of the report

    Abstract
    Study was undertaken by Information Systems Consultants, Inc., Washington DC, to determine the current state of online patron access catalogues, with emphasis on the degree to which access has been extended beyond that available in card, microform, and early patron access online catalogues. The methodology used was similar to that used in an earlier report. All of the library automation vendors of both multi user systems and micro based systems were sent a copy of the latest version of the catalogue portion of the model RFP (request for proposal) for an integrated online library system which was developed for the study described in the last reference. The vendors were asked to respond as if it had been sent by a potential library customer. A matrix with the raw data is presented for both multi user systems and micro based systems along with the RFP. A brief description of each vendor is followed by a tabulation of the RFP responses and concluding comments by the author
