Title: Report on a Visit to Certain Libraries in the USA, May‐June 1973
Abstract: Progress and future plans observed and discussed at fourteen libraries and centres (Library of Congress; Ohio College Library Center; Council on Library Resources; Chicago, Columbia, Harvard, Illinois, Massachusetts, Northwestern, Ohio State, Pennsylvania, and Tulane University Libraries; Georgia Institute of Technology; and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries) are reported under the following headings: regional cooperation/networks; acquisitions systems; cataloguing systems; serials; music; circulation; COM; costs. The comprehensive automation programme at the University of Chicago Library is described. It is apparent that in many American libraries, automation is now part of the routine, no longer regarded as research or a localised activity.
