Abstract
The use of a microcomputer in a special library to create an in‐house database of articles selected from current journals is described. Weekly current awareness bulletins are then produced by interfacing the database software with word processor software. Automation saves time in bulletin preparation and enables quicker, more efficient searching of library stock. Selection and choice of the computer and software are discussed, and other applications and future developments are mentioned.
