The evolution of the Washington University School of Medicine BACS integrated library system toward information management functions is outlined. The creation of a machine-readable database and its extension through telecommunications have consequences that reach beyond the functions of the library as we have perceived them. It is argued that libraries are flexible institutions that, with automation, are likely to enlarge rather than to diminish.
本文概述了华盛顿大学医学院BACS集成图书馆系统向信息管理功能的演变。机器可读数据库的创建及其通过电信的扩展所产生的影响超出了我们对图书馆功能的认知。有人认为，图书馆是灵活的机构，随着自动化的发展，其规模可能会扩大而不是缩小。
