No Major Equipment

The new system does not involve
the purchase of major
equipment. "We're renting a keypunch
and already have some
small imprinting machines," said
the University librarian. "This
system is based on the one used
at American University. For us
the new system is a mid-step between
a manual and a fully automated
system which would require
new equipment that we
can't afford."
