Abstract

Interest in the sharing of machine‐readable bibliographic records, and of access to them, has grown considerably in recent years. This interest has been fed variously by the increasing use of library automation, the growing volume of records available for use in computer‐based systems, the pressure on libraries of all types to economise and share resources, and developments in microcomputing and telecommunications which have made it cheaper and easier for libraries to access and download records from remote systems and networks.
