TALON--the first five years.

The South Central Regional Medical Library Program, Region IX in the national network of medical libraries, was one of the last to be organized and funded. The particular makeup of this organization has permitted a good deal of flexibility in the identification and implementation of various types of network services and activities. The following is a brief account of some of these network functions during the first five years relating the successes and failures in network strategies and describing the further evolution of programs and refinement of a regional plan which will advance network services.

A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR A UNION CATALOG: THEME AND VARIATIONS.

This article describes a computer system for the generation and maintenance of a union catalog of periodicals and for printouts of both the entire file and selected portions. Although the system was designed to meet the specifications of the Union Catalog of Medical Periodicals of New York, its use is not limited. Only the basic file maintenance program is indispensable; the subsidiary programs may be used as needed. The scope and content of the catalog are determined by the input. The preparation of the input is described in detail, with comment on the keypunching of library records. Applications to other kinds of catalogs are suggested.

Union list development: control of the serial literature.

The discussion covers the development of a national union list or finding tool for biomedical serial holdings and its integration into the National Serials Data Program, which is being developed under the auspices of the three National Libraries. Specific topics which are covered include: (1) Selection of the Union Catalog of Medical Periodicals (UCMP) as the basis for a biomedical list and the status of that activity; (2) discussion of the various methods of recording holdings; (3) status of the National Serials Data Program and a discussion of its relationship to the UCMP file; and (4) status of the Standard Serial Number and its relationship to other existing coding schemes for serial titles.

Library cooperation: wave of the future or ripple?

The PHILSOM system--one user's experience.

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio joined the PHILSOM system, a comprehensive serials control network, in 1971. The experiences of the library in using the system are described. The major benefit of the system has been multiple copies of the holdings list which have made the serial records publicly accessible and significantly increased their value. Tallies of these lists' use indicate that more than half of serials-related questions are now answered directly by the users. The effects of PHILSOM on the procedures of the serials department--processing, claiming, bindery, and personnel are described. Costs to the network and the UTHSCSA Library are briefly summarized.

A cooperative serial acquisition program: thoughts on a response to mounting fiscal pressures.

A regionally cooperative method of distributing responsibility for every serial title in a region is outlined. The system assures the equitable distribution of the number of titles for which each library is committed. Later refinements suggest an equalization of cost commitments on the basis of fiscal resources available for serial purchases. It is pointed out that fiscal realities will force some sort of serial acquisition cooperation for all viable medical libraries.

Metropolitan Detroit's network: "...informed by magic numbers".

Wayne State University Library's serials automation project is evolutionary in concept, with its first completed stage designed to give information on titles and holdings. Its master tape includes, in addition to Wayne State University holdings, data for more than twenty biomedical libraries in the area, and print options are available that will produce a full union list or individual lists singly or in any combination.

Regional utilization of the union catalog of medical periodicals system.

This paper describes regional utilization of the Union Catalog of Medical Periodicals system and data base in producing union lists outside Metropolitan New York, the area served by the Union Catalog. A basic introduction to the Medical Library Center of New York's UCMP system is set forth, demonstrating the system's value in the production of such medical and paramedical union lists throughout the country. Several applications are then described, showing how these union lists were produced.
