Booklist Review

This volume in the Meckler series of guides on library use of the IBM PC examines 10 specific acquisitions systems. The text provides system overviews and describes the ways inquiries and retrieval of records may be made. Pertinent comparisons and judgments are also made about the systems, including ACQ350, AnyBook, BaTaSYSTEMS acquisitions, Bib-Base/ Acq, Card Datalog Acquisitions module, MATTS, Nonesuch, Ocelot's purchase module, Sydney, and Unicorn. One chapter evaluates electronic ordering systems, and a concluding chapter rates the acquisitions systems as a group. Index. PRD.
