CDS/ISIS, developed by UNESCO, has a number of attractive features which make it suitable for library automation. A prototype circulation control system, developed using CDS/ISIS (Version 2.33), has been reported. Features of three programs written in CDS/ISIS Pascal for circulation control system are described. The design and implementation of sample databases containing book records and user records are detailed. The prototype circulation control system performs satisfactorily with sample databases containing 3,005 book records and 207 user records respectively on a local area network (LAN). A system developed using CDS/ISIS Pascal for online help containing basic guidelines for searching by author, title, borrower and subject is also reported. Considering the specific network features of Version 3.0 of CDS/ISIS, concluded that the prototype system will work satisfactorily on a LAN. Page(s): 113-122
