摘要:Library Information System [LIS] is a minicomputer-based, automated integrated system designed and implemented at the Dahlgren Memorial Library of the Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D. C. in 1980 The system was designed primarily to meet the immediate educational and clinical information needs of students, residents and faculty. This system was also designed to provide maximum capabilities at minimum cost through the use of low-cost computer hardware. LIS is being replicated at a few other libraries and Samuel J. Wood Library of Cornell University Medical College is one of them.
