- Abstract
- Describes the experience of Fort Collins Public Library, CO. in their converison from a locally-developed system to the Dynix system in 1993. Discusses how to manage issues affecting public service such as building closures and collection weeding, and considers the benefits and pitfalls of using volunteer assistance. Outlines the problems encountered in converting the existing database to MARC and in defining new cataloguing standards. The hiring of an automated consultant was critical to the task of successfully installing a new online catalogue
