How? Through the Gaylord Computerized Circulation Control System: the system that adds a whole new dimension to resource sharing. Libraries can now pool their resources, through a system that is expandable city­ wide, regionally and state-wide. By leasing minicomputers that tie into the system’s central computer, they can receive instant information on the availability of any item within the network and generate interlibrary loans automatically. With such a remarkable capacity, it’s not surprising that the system would drastically reduce book budget require­ ments. What is surprising, though, is that the system, when leased, requires no large capital expenditure* And the more libraries that share the system, the lower the cost to each. The Gaylord Circulation Control System . . . for libraries that want to grow overnight. *The system is available, if desired, on an outright purchase basis.
