Abstract

The demand for enhanced online services has led many libraries to provide users with access to machine-readable indexes and other products in addition to the online catalogue. The proliferation of networks and the merging of two heretofore separate service bureaus--the library and computer services, has facilitated the emergence of new partnerships providing new, improved services. This article describes how the Library and Computer Services of Simon Fraser University worked together to select and mount the GROLIER ACADEMIC AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA database on a mainframe using the SPIRES system.
