Vanderbilt Medical Center Library (VMCL) first installed TWX in 1966, thus joining the teletypewriter exchange (TWX) network. Eight years later (1974), VMCL removed its TWX terminal, mainly as an economy measure. It is the opinion of the author that the benefits derived from using TWX for interlibrary loan do not warrant the cost of the service. VMCL looks forward to a new approach.
范德比尔特医疗中心图书馆(VMCL)于1966年首次安装电传打字机交换系统(TWX),从而加入了电传打字机交换(TWX)网络。八年后(1974年),VMCL拆除了其TWX终端,主要是作为一项节约成本的措施。作者认为,使用TWX进行馆际互借所带来的好处并不值得为此服务付出成本。VMCL期待一种新的方法。
