Abstract
WordStar and dBase II are used for a very wide range of small‐scale applications within a general policy of making computers available to all library staff. Ease of use is aided by having menu‐driven programs and providing appropriate instructions for each application. Descriptions are given of typical projects from straightforward word processing of user education documents to databases that require conversion between text and data files.
