The Veterans Administration Library Network (VALNET) is developing new library software. This system will interface with national automation activities using MUMPS and VA FILEMAN, with the software to be publicly available.

Area of Science:

Library and Information Science
Health Informatics
Computer Science

Background:

The Veterans Administration Library Network (VALNET) required an automated system to integrate with national automation initiatives.
A Library Special Interest Users Group was formed to guide the selection of suitable automated systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development of a new automated library system for VALNET.
To outline the technologies and approach used for creating the software.

Main Methods:

Utilizing the Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System (MUMPS) computer language.
Employing VA FILEMAN, a robust database management system, for software development.
Developing new library software intended for public domain release.
